Thank you for sharing, and for voting! I couldn’t agree more that local elections (no matter what corner of the world you are in) are oh so important, and always matter more than we realize.

Having left the UK It is one of my biggest disappointments that despite paying taxes, both local and national, we have no vote. The only chance we get to vote is in the UK, a country that doesn’t give a toss for nationals living overseas. Our choice. To waste an opportunity to have your say should thereafter invalidate your moans and groans when things don’t happen as you wish.
