@EricLawton "emigrants" is also a good term.

@DavidBHimself That is not my point 🤦‍♂️

What I’m saying… who am I to impose my political preferences as a citizen of country A to people in country B that I don’t live with and don’t know their current needs‽

Let’s say… the hypothetical where I live, we decide to that mastering multiple languages (A and B) is a requirement to get your secondary education diploma. But in country B, such a suggestion would be seen as an attack against said country.

It’s just hard to find non-tax examples

If they've established themselves elsewhere—job, home—no.

Conversely, unlike some countries, emigrants shouldn't have to pay taxes on income not earned in their former country.

They regain the right on return.

And for the same reason, immigrants¹ who have established themselves somewhere—job, home,… —should be allowed to vote after at most 5 years.

Disclosure: I emigrated from England and never voted there since.

1. Funny how it's mostly white people who are called "expats", people of colour are "immigrants"

Se volete essere complici, pensate alla scommessa che state facendo

@DavidBHimself @evan I simply don't like what expats tend to vote for.

@evan From some answers, I see a lot of people have the good old landowner (male and white too?) mentality when it comes to voting rights. You would expect people on the Fediverse to understand what democracy and citizenship are a little better.

They keep putting Randy out in the woods by himself, and he should not be out in the woods by himself. It's yoga bro abuse.
