@raymierussell@mastodon.scot @BenartyComputer@mastodon.scot and ironically, it’s the only election at all I can vote in as a Scot in France who isn’t a citizen here :)

@bobthomson70@mastodon.social Yeah, cos the Local Council and Scottish Parliament elections have a residency clause so having UK citizenship is not enough. That is fair as my sister born in Scotland but living in England for 20 years does not get a Scot Parl vote as the powers it has do not affect her in England. Whereas a person born in England/Wales/NI now living in Scotland is affected by the Scot Parl so they get a vote.
