Chairman of Conservatives Abroad Heather Harper MBE said “We have been campaigning long and hard to right the injustice of British expats being disenfranchised from voting after a time limit of 15 years. Today, the government restates commitment to deliver its pledge to scrap the ‘15 year rule’.

We are delighted to announce that Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP has been knighted for political and public service. Sir Geoffrey is a patron of Conservatives Abroad and a well known champion of voting rights for British citizens living overseas.

I am delighted to wish all Conservatives Abroad members a very Merry Christmas, and to send my best wishes for 2018.

This year’s CA conference organised by Heather Harper MBE and the CA management team had record attendance with delegates from around the world.

Conservatives Abroad salutes the inclusion in the Conservative Party manifesto of the pledge to legislate for ‘votes for life’ for British overseas electors:

The general election is on 8 June and there is a clear choice -- strong, stable leadership in the national interest, or a coalition of chaos with Jeremy Corbyn.

Conservatives Abroad Political Advisor Christopher Chantrey OBE recently testified to the House of Commons Health Select Committee.

For many years, Conservatives Abroad have led the campaign to give back to expats their democratic right to vote in UK elections.
