after i asked you blog readers and others to contact BBC about their article it paid off
The past paragraph

Excluded from the ballot were foreign expatriates, who make up the majority of Kuwait’s 2.9-million population, and military personnel.

The edited version

The majority of Kuwait’s 2.9-million population is made up of expatriates, who do not have a vote. Military personnel are also ineligible to cast ballots.

and i got this E-mail from the BBC

Dear Sir
The main import of the paragraph you draw attention to is that the
majority of people in Kuwait are expatriates; not to make a point that
expatriates are not allowed to vote, which – as you point out – is a
perfectly normal condition.

Again thats thanks for the help for Your Help for Kuwait
