It’s interesting those two topics when it comes to conservatives.
On the one side they tell me I shouldn’t be able to vote in my country of origin if I move out of there because why am I interfering with what they want, while I don’t feel the consequences.
On the other hand they don’t want me to vote in my new country because I’m a imigrant and don’t understand how special their system is and anyway what if I go back?!
Well, yes: your vote is probably not a conservative vote, so absolutely any reason is good enough to deny you a vote!
I think it’s very telling that the conservatives went for ignoring the vote in this case, to use the voting threshold to sink the change. They know their usual arguments are self-contradicting here, so that counting on laziness is their only (and probably successful) hope.
