    The cynic in me wonders if this is just another desperate attempt by the Tories to grab some previously unattainable votes.

    If you’ve been outside the country longer your likely older. If you’ve been outside the country longer…and are older, you’ve probably got a few quid. If you’re older and you’ve got a few quid you likely vote Blue…

    I mean, it’s not gonna matter right, but still. Cynical.

      And you won’t have been there for the nosedive that has been the last 13 years.
      That said, Labour plans to enfranchise settled EU nationals, which will probably tip the balance in the opposite direction.

      For what it’s worth, I fall into this group and I’m really glad the Tories were the ones to give me the vote back, because I fully intend to use it against them and hopefully do my part to bury them, hopefully forever.
