Recently was told from a mate still working in the UK York electoral Registrar office that only 66% of private renters are registered due to a strong correlation with length of residence & registration plus the greater proportion of ethnic minorities & younger people who now are renting their homes, York has a population of 200,000 but the two-thirds figure is across the whole UK regions towns & cities

Stats say as many as 8 million people faced being disenfranchised at the last UK election due to it's antiquated Electoral registration system which is neither effective nor efficient apparently, currently.

As for me voting ?
Brexit scarred me for life & being a Brit now living in France & Europe i'm happy to be exiled.

To be honest i'm just happy to keep it real workwise with head down & lots of smiling during a shift & i've never joined a union either.
I avoid office politics, get organised, speak up about how i'm feeling health wise & if pi$$ed off do activities after work to get life back in perspective - so that way there's no time for moaning, so no going back to the darker side of my life again either.👍
"Stats as say".......exactly which stats? Migrants into the UK aren't entitled to vote unless and until their immigration status is confirmed, you would suggest it should be otherwise (I suspect there would be a degree of opposition in principle to such a change, here and most certainly in the (dis)United States of America.

And this level if supposed disenfranchisement is "due to it's antiquated Electoral registration system which is neither effective nor efficient apparently, currently". Says who?

Trump peddles lies and inaccurate street bev a use it suits his campaign of disinformation and confusion. I thought better of you, but the last post could have been penned by a Trump staffer wanting to diminish any criticism emanating from these shores.

You might not like what has happened in the UK since Brexit, but unlike the majority of those who've in this country you had the opportunity to exile yourself and took it. The majority are still here, still working, still going on hoiday ( here and abroad), still being educated from pre-school to University and beyond, still having their ills addressed by the NHS, still being cared for in their twilight years. We may not be all you would want, but we are what we need to be and compared to the French you seem to prefer I'll take Brits (of all creeds and colours), any day.
