Milestones

Establish an MP for the 5 million British citizens living overseas, who currently rely on former constituencies, aligning the UK with countries like France and Italy, which offer direct parliamentary representation for expats.

As an expat in Hong Kong with strong UK ties, I believe having my interests represented in British Parliament is vital. Despite our various contributions to our home country, we lack essential parliamentary representation there. While other issues are important, we think that extending representation to overseas citizens is crucial for inclusivity. It's time for the UK to expand its parliamentary representation to include us, ensuring we can shape the future of our home country.
