Im a foreigner but have always been able to vote. Im not entirely sure who can and who cant these days as its all a bit confusing. Then we have the euro elections too so I suppose all europeans can vote in those.
But as a foreigner of course Ive brought with me the great benefit and wisdom of political observations and scribblings from the off island position lol!!
Ive been greatly entertained and enthralled over the years by the likes of
Anthony Wedgwood Benn
Michael Foot
Antony Barber
Michael Hezeltine
Geoffrey Howe
Willie Whitelaw
Tony Blair
and maybe David Cameron although the book on him isnt yet written.
There were quite a collection of buffoons too but I will refrain from going into those...okay just one... William Hague's brief tenure as Cons Leader. He was awful. His media quotes were terrible and his legendary baseball cap was...well legendary, but for all the wrong reasons. However since then he has matured into a most respected and respectable politician.
