There's going to be an election in Britain in three and a half week's time. Guardian coverage recommended (or Grauniad, for those who can remember the 1980s profo-reading standards ...)
The residency requirements if you're a citizen are not that strict -- I should have stayed a little longer last year and registered.
Luckily the next three weeks are full of academic and personal deadlines, so I won't have the time to spend following yet another election I cannot vote in!
