London Mayor Boris Johnson in Singapore urging British expatriates to register to vote on www.gov.uk/register-to-vote .

(With thanks to Colin Blackwell for the photograph.)

With only an estimated 1% of British expatriates actually registered to vote ( 20,000 – 30,000  out of 2 – 3 million), shouldn’t you take some 5 minutes of your time to much more conveniently register on-line to vote, although many of us (another estimated 2 – 3 million) still find ourselves excluded by the 15-year-limit.

We are trying to reach a first target of 100,000 registered overseas voters in time for the next general election in May 2015.
