Yep, I expected better (the left and so on) but purely logically they don't have to care. I agree there.
It makes asking immigrants to care about the UK a bit hard to sell as well though. It would be nice to be treated like somebody who doesn't just happen to live here, but has a stake in the place (emotionally and practically) instead of "taxation without representation"* because if the UK doesn't care...why should I?
*which is an issue for the UK people in the EU away for more than 15 years as well, the UK takes the voting rights away.
I'd also like to see this sorted on an EU wide level, but the UK can fix that right now and doesn't.

Most of those non-locals can't vote though so it's not really a winning strategy.
