Tom Raftery added,
@TomRaftery what's the boundary though? how many years out of the country before you lose the right to vote (max 10 years imho)
@TomRaftery UK is 15 years, not sure on others. I believe you need to have a recent presence in a country to have a somewhat informed view
@TomRaftery true :-), but I do think people get far too misty eyed when recalling the 'auld sod'
@TomRaftery its a more nuanced debate than 140 chars is good for, I'll write something up :-)
@TomRaftery @fintanr For Ireland, it is simple. By shitting on us emigrants Ireland risk our revenge as Europeans. We are many, they few. :)
