    If the GE goes ahead I will have voted for an MP every year since 2015.

    What a waste of tax payers (OUR) money....

      There are elections for a lot of things which I can't vote in, but which will have an effect on my life.

        No, an EU national. Have to pay taxes, can't vote.

          You could apply to get British citizenship but reading The Guardian you may risk being told to leave immediately.....

            We'll see how it goes. I might be eligible in the near future, but I'd need to get PR first. Not a given, not an easy thing to get. The process seems to be a bit random nowadays.

              I can't vote in the forthcoming French or German elections, despite being an EU national. Both of those have the potential to impact me. What is your point?

                Yeah Scottish Independence I don't even live there and other people who can't vote either (because they don't even live in UK) just keep on complaining.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Them's the rules I'm afraid. If you're planning to stay long term, you should think about UK citizenship.

                      No it's not. I can't find an iOS developer to save my life. Please allow more iOS developers into the country.
