Sorry, I know I’ve tailored it for the English vote.
None of the above
How anyone can vote for that clown Corbyn is beyond me, mind you Boris isn’t much better. The Labour Party is just about summed up by that fool Dianne Abbott, it’s like she deliberately trips herself up every time she’s interviewed. The whole lot are a joke at the minute, and it’s going to be a case of picking the best of a bad bunch. One things for sure I will not be voting for Corbyn, if he gets in to power this country will crumble.

This seems a strange stance. Fair enough if you don't want to vote Labour as you don't agree with their policies. However I find the idea that Corbyn, constantly painted as a bumbling idiot who has no control over the Labour party, will suddenly turn into a dictator with a vice like grip on Labour policy if he were to come into power rather odd.Spot on Cavan.
Well, I like my tofu medium rare if that helps any.Tough one.. it's like asking a vegetarian which meat they would like for Christmas.
Has he, whereSpot on Cavan.
As an Expat, my vote will be going to the Lib Dems.
I voted at every election, local, European etc when I lived in the UK, however I didn't vote in the 2010 or 2015 as UK issues are not necessarily important to me, but Brexit is.
That's if my vote, and the other 3 members of my family, manage to get through the Christmas post.

You're better off doing a proxy vote if you haven't already applied for postal.

I'm assuming you don't want the UK to leave the EU?
If/when we do how will it affect you?
I have a mate who lives part time in the Balearics and is having similar challenges. I thought Spain had already taken measurements to protect the rights of ex pat Brits but apparently there’s a large percentage of self governance on the Balearics so it’s not the same there currently as mainland Spain. I’m guessing it’s the same in the Canaries.At this present moment we are only here as European citizens. We are constantly having meetings with the local British Consulate. We are being told different things all the time.
Unlike some countries Spain dose not allow other Europeans Dual 'Citizen' Passports, only Spanish Colonial countries can have dual passports.
Our permanent stay requires us to have the 'Residensia' paper work up to date, even Spanish citizens have keep this up to date every 5 years. We have the local police come round your house to check the address given is correct, if not you are removed from their records, you would then be considered an illegal immigrant - which a lot of older expats could possibly be. E.g they bought a property 20 years ago and not undated their status during this time, therefore they would be removed from the system - with the local government officials assuming they have moved back to the UK.
So at the moment we are just being asked to ensure at the least we are on the Spanish system.
Our permanent stay may only last another 3-5 years if there is a no deal, after that time depends on your personal circumstances. Also our stay even with a deal depends on what exactly is in the deal. Remain is straight forward - nothing in our situation changes.
Depending on a deal - we may be allowed special European status, which means with our "Spanish Residensia" we could get treated as a Spanish citizen through out the rest of Europe. This is still being negotiated. but with things stopping and starting we just don't know.
Another No Deal senario we have been told, If any person owns a property here and wants to avoid the UK winter, will only be allowed under visa rules to stay for 90 out of 180 days, and risk being refused a second visa if they stay longer than the 90 days.
I do know, a 6 month UK holiday visa cost £75, + £75 DHL return to the Canary Islands, +300€ return flights for 2 people to Madrid to attend a 30 minute interview appointment with the British consulate, fortunately my son's girl friend has relatives in Madrid so didn't have the added expense of accommodation. Which was required for a 1 week holiday last March.
My son's girl friend is a resident of the Caribbean, has a 10 year Spanish visa which allows her travel anywhere in Europe except the UK & Ireland.

It's up to each individual country to decide if they allow dual citizenship or not.Surprises me that you can’t have dual-citizenship, honestly didn’t know that. My grandparents must have foregone their British citizenship in that case.

Even then there’s anomaly’s. I’m one of four children and we’re all entitled to dual nationality with Ireland. However my brother who’s the eldest of us was born on the island of Ireland so his children also qualify for dual nationality with Ireland whereas my children don’t even though I’ve claimed my dual nationality and my brother hasn’t.It's up to each individual country to decide if they allow dual citizenship or not.

I know that you can have British/Danish dual nationality but if by the time you reach 21 you haven’t collated up to 18months (think that’s right but it may be 12months) of your life in Denmark you will loose your Danish nationality.Not doubting that, just surprised as I thought it was a standard.
Oversight, I know. Apologies.Where's the option "Couldn't give a toss coz they're all the same"?
I wouldn’t assume that all of us live in Cov. Northampton North constituency for me.
