It is selfish and arrogant to think otherwise.

That's really harsh, if you are a citizen of a country you should be able to vote, just because you are not living there does not mean you do not have a stake in the vote.
I live in Iceland and I will vote in Canada's Federal elections, I care deeply about what happens in Canada and may live there again in the future, either way its my duty and privilege to vote and I take that very seriously.
