    I'll have a chat with the electoral office for my ward tomorrow. Another thought is how many will be applying? Ah found this "At the UK General Election of 2017 there were a record 285,000 registered overseas voters. The Government have estimated that this is about 20% of eligible expats under the current 15-year limit." on https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN05923 Only 20% registered that needs to change.

    Would you mind if I copied that and shared it on Facebook as an example of what could be heading our way, over the next decade or so?

    We just want rid of the disgusting Johnson. We want a proper Conservative, someone like Hammond or Grieve.

    Why do we need a Conservative at all?

    What is needed is a campaign to show to the public that the present ruling party is "Conservative" in name only. I highlighted those two to illustrate proper "Conservatives.". PS: I think you should judge from my comments down the years that I will never vote Conservative. Last time I voted Green, this time Labour, unless "You Know Who" (your pet hate Chilco, Archers and Rorschach) was standing in my constituency

    The hate posters have started already.
    One of my Tory voting sisters posted a poster of Corbyn on Facebook alleging pretty much everything other than sheep shagging.
    To be expected among the idiots who believe everything they read in their paper.

    I’m actually considering tactical voting first time. I’m in the itchen bridge area and there is like 1% difference between lab and con in the last election.

    Dominic Grieve on the wireless saying he is standing as an Independent. Not entirely complimentary about Pfeffel.

    Apt name for the awful Cummings:-

    I don’t either. I just give Ides plenty of leeway to be himself.

    Each time I have mentioned his name I have been castigated and vilified without mercy by Chilco, Archers and Rorschach so that is why I have not named the soon to be MP for Westminster. He was Labour but changed to.become a Lib Dem. Hope that helps you Spiderman.
