Right To Vote Uk

Marilyn Said:

When did women in UK gain their right to vote?

We Answered:

Women in the UK did not get full voting rights until 1928 - partial rights were given in 1918. The first place in the world to give women the right to vote was Wyoming Territory (in 1869).

Carrie Said:

I am a British citizen by descent. Do I have the right to vote at the UK elections?

We Answered:

Ask the British Embassy. I thought you had to be a citizen by birth or apply for citizenship!

Walter Said:

Is it true that if I am an oversea student studying in the UK i can vote?

We Answered:

Nope. Only if you are a citizen of the UK can you vote in the UK election. But the election is over anyway.

Sherri Said:

We Answered:

asylum seekers cannot vote
refugees cannot vote either

Jerry Said:

I thought that the UK was a parliamentary democracy where MPs had the right to vote?

We Answered:

MP's have always had to toe the party line, that's what the Whips are for to make sure they vote as they are told to, a free vote in the house is a rarity. We are now being governed by a millionaire who thinks that only people of his class that should be properly feed and kept warm, believe me people are going to die this winter because of this government and their hatred of anybody that didn't go to Eton.
