Are you sure that you still have a vote

[RichardPerou]

I thought I had one until I wrote to Teignbridge Registrar and found that I wasn't. Two (sent on the same day)reminders weren't delivered.

If you think voting is important then you had better check.

Once you've been out of the UK for 10 years you automatically loose the vote. You are however, still expected to pay your taxes especially inheritance.

I'd be very loath to pay tax without being able to vote (or use the NHS for that matter), what sort of boll**ks is that?

Magna Carta was for the nobility not the plebeians.

No, it was in response to the Stamp Act of 1765, which contributed to the outbreak of the American War of Independence.

Magna Carta did concern itself with reducing feudal taxes to the Crown, however.
