UM prof: ‘expats tend to be more patriotic’

The opinions of British residents living in Macau appear to be largely in favor of staying within the European Union. However, that is not the case in all places outside the British Isles.
A SKY news report last month, interviewing some of the 800,000 British residents who live in Spain, found that a significant number indicated that they were in favor of a Brexit. This is despite the fact that uncertainties exist over what might happen to European residents in Britain and British residents in Europe, should the U.K. withdraw from the union.
“It is a slightly odd thing among expats,” University of Macau (UM) Professor Timmermans told the Times. “They [British expats] tend to be more patriotic or nationalist than those in the UK. So maybe there is a tendency to be slightly more anti-EU.”
