That was easier than getting a national insurance number, opening a bank account or joining the library!

I can vote in ALL elections here :confused: and then I can fly home and vote in my own :)

Now somebody tell me about the parties here :D
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you

    Wow!!

    Wish I had the same situation.

    I'm a duel citizen of the US and Canada and because of Canadian law I'm not allowed to vote in both US and Canadian elections. Basically if I vote in the US election (which I'm doing this year) I lose my right to vote in Canada which is the country where I live.

    It's very fustrating especially when I'm paying taxes in both countries.

    :( that's a shame! Well we have an agreement between the two countries... only I'm pretty sure a UK citizen can't vote in our presidential elections and for constitutional referendums but as far as I know that's the only difference!

    actually a Conservative victory would aid Scottish independence... dont ask me how as your tiny brain would never be able to compute it all... ;):p

    i think you'd like Liberal Democrats actually.

    cos they dont like ID cards, DNA databases, etc... and they believe in wee green men that live at end of the rainbow.

    i think all political parties are for Europe to some extent... maybe the UK Independence Party isnt.. the BNP definitely isnt.
