London. (News of The South) – Brexit is the withdrawal of the UK from the European union.
Several UK EU citizens were refused voting rights in the isle of man, the isle of Guernsey and the isle of Jersey.
There were no polling stations in the channel islands for the EU referendum, votes could only be cast by post, by proxy, or by visiting the UK on the day of the election, because the only ones on the island who could vote were those who have been on the electoral roll in the UK within the last 15 years. This is because any expats who have moved from the UK to any other part of the world in the past 15 years are allowed to vote so channel islanders who fit into this category are no different from any other former residents of the UK.
Channel island citizens could have been living next door to someone who was eligible to vote, and they were refused voting rights, channel islanders and isle of man people are British citizens and hence European citizens, the channel island passports prove that beyond all doubt, because their passports were issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth of the UK, and even have the illustration showing the royal coat of arms of the UK so they are eligible through citizenship to vote, they are connected to Europe through protocol 3. They have independent administrations, not independent countries, other states with their own devolved government, who had a majority remain vote are being forced to leave also,
