    Providing it was done before the 3rd June... I'm sure Putin's bot farms had no interest in this, at all.

    Absolutely shocking. Are any of the press on it yet?

    The Daily Mail should be outraged by this...but they won't be.

    My sister and her partner have lived in Spain since 1979, both retaining their British Citizenship but were not allowed to vote in the referendum in 2016, yet these people are allowed to decide who is our next PM. Something not quite right there.

    I think one is wrong and the other right, I maybe wrong appologies if I am but I think any Scottish living outside of Scotland weren't allowed to vote on there referendum to leave the Uk ( or to stay)

    Maybe and I wouldn't really argue with you on that, but many Brits living in Spain but only by dint of freedom of movement (ie not dual nationals or resident in Spain) DID have a vote in the referendum and many of them (perversely) voted leave and were eventually deported....

    They might be bothered about foreigners voting for them,
    But they don’t seem to be bothered about Russian oligarchs BUYING them

    I tested this out, there’s nothing in their terms about where your live or your nationality, you do need to provide a uk mailing address though, but I don’t think you need to validate it

    Out of interest i tried Labour as well and they are the same, in fact on their form you can choose an international address.

    Madness that someone who’s not British can vote for a British PM, regardless of party, I’d imagine there’s some screening, but it’s risky.

    Also noticed it’s only a few quid to join Labour, but it’s £25 for the conservatives
