If you're Italian and living abroad, you can vote to elect one of the few members of parliament which actually represent migrated Italians. This way they can still have a bit of representation, but without the same amount of influence as if they were living in the country.

Is the ratio of electors/MP different for expats vs those living in the country?

I can certainly understand the anger of the GP, apparently roughly 25% of the Croatian citizens do not live in the country. As an expat myself, having a say in how my home country is run is nice, but I feel it's a bit "easy", because I mostly do not have to live with the consequence of my choices.

Yes, I don't remember the actual ratios but it's much fewer representatives per person for citizens living abroad.
