And I don’t even get to vote in MY OWN COUNTRY
OMG. I can vote because I’m from a Commonwealth country and resident in the UK. Now I have to start reading the policies from the other parties (I’ve read and heard enough of the SNP to know they HAVEN’T got my vote because even if it’s bloody time it’s not THEIR bloody time).
Come on, 3 May!
(There a delicious irony about being able to vote in a parliamentary election in a foreign country while I have been eligible to vote in Singapore for a decade but have never had to. Which is why I am relishing the prospect so much.)

erm, it’s overrated (voting in s’pore , that is)
as for elections in the uk; only thing I’m proud of is: not voting for either tories or labour (to those who rooted for labour - look where it got you!)
Judy, it may be overrated but I’ve never had the experience. In a country like Singapore (and maybe even the town where I live in Scotland), the conclusion may be foregone, but to have the opportunity to participate in a democratic act surely can’t be overrated.
