Sort of mirrors all the windbags who don't vote in the UK blathering on in the election and Brexit threads.
Perhaps this might be aimed at me having pitched in earlier to the Independence debate from here in Guangzhou, China and having failed to respond to the Decameron's earlier completely irrelevant question to me on the matter. With less than 300 posts since 2003 I don't reply to every irrelevant quip or question.
However I shall now given your senseless quip. I am still a homeowner in Scotland paying full council tax, income tax, utility bills etc. I also regular return home for months at a time facilitated by two lengthy breaks between Chinese University terms, I assure you I have full voting rights which I exercise.
Regardless however, let's assume I did not fulfil the criteria to vote on Independence due to temporary residency issues. Are you saying that as a 53 year old born and bred Scot with family in the UK, that I (or others in a similar situation ) should not be permitted to contribute to a discussion on this forum regarding the major political issue in centuries affecting my/their country and be referred to as ’windbags’!? That would invalidate anyone outwith Scotland from contributing to the discussion because they don't have a vote on the issue, even though their lives may be drastically affected by it. On this, Brexit, or any other issue on this forum having or not having the right to vote does not permit or bar the right to contribute.
