Disenfranchisement Looms

Of late, rigged elections seem to have become the norm.With increasing attempts to use computer voting and politicians so determined to hang on to power that they 'll stop at nothing, hardly an election goes by without a major dispute . Facts :-
A)You don't have to own a PC to know 'fixing' is a part of modern life . [Look at money machine scams.]
B)With so many illiterate in the world the good old X by face of choice is a must have .
C)Indeed, no matter where ,a paper trail is essential . Old fashioned ? No, reliable . Can we forgot the hoo ha in USA with Florida ?
D)There is another matter though and that is political franchise. ie ) a person's right to vote . The stuff democracy is supposed to be made of .
This year I lose mine and as from February am unable to vote in future British General elections even though I pay tax to the country and hold the passport . As a citizen of Britain I'm not allowed to vote in German General elections. So you may say , no problem , change your citizenship. I would ,but here's the catch ,Britain will still tax me !
For the last four years I have been campaigning to have this matter raised in the Houses Of Parliament .. WITH NO JOY .Blair ignored totally . The Lib Dems promised to get back to me ( ok they didn't say when ) Next century maybe . Cameron, like Blair ignored the matter .At weekend I wrote to Gordon Brown . Let's see what his take is .. if any .
I consider it only right that a citizen of a country , who is still paying tax to that government , be allowed a vote .It should make no difference how long they have lived overseas . Or let's drop the taxation and allow me to become a German with voting rights .To quote James Otis , "taxation without representation is tyranny.
ps ) By the way there are approximately three million overseas Brits in this situation .Were we say Kenyans or in Pakistan the western world and media would be outraged at our lack of freedom . As it is few are aware of the status quo. Of these none care.
