Because it says so in the British Nationality Act or whatever.

Only if they have been abroad for more than 15 years.

We have something much more important than the EU, it is called the commonwealth, what we do is relevant to them too.

Citizens of Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth who are over 18 can vote in the EU referendum. UK nationals who have lived overseas for less than 15 years can also vote. Citizens from EU countries will not have a vote, except for those in Ireland and the Commonwealth states of Malta and Cyprus.
