I suppose the point I'm trying to get across Wynn is that although only British citizens are allowed to vote, there is a large number of migrants who still have ties & connections to their place of origin & whose loyalties may not truly lie in the UK's interest, but they have "British Citizenship".

That being the case, their vote wouldn't necessarily be deemed in the interest of the "host" nation.
