I'm James Wallace.

I, along with 800,000 Scots will not be able to vote in the Scottish Referendum on Independence.

I was born in Scotland, I have lived there for my whole existence of 23 years, it will always be home and if Scotland becomes independent i will have to get a Scottish passport. But i have no say on the future of my country. Surely this is unfair?

In February I (like so many others) am moving to London for a job. Under the rules recently published that will mean i will be unable to vote

Please, I beg you, help me gain the basic right to vote on the most important vote i will ever have in my life.

  Example: if I lived in New York (or anywhere else in world) I could vote for my Scottish MP in westminster elections. But under these rules would not have a say on whether i get that vote in the future. This makes the referendum rules undemocratic. Fact.
