Could you please inform/remind your readers who are Irish citizens and have moved to the UK that they in fact have full voting rights in the UK, including in the upcoming general election (presuming they have a National Insurance number). I know it surprised me when I arrived on Blighty’s shores to learn as much after mere weeks of residency here. The deadline for registration is 20 April. The registration process is idiot-proof so you’ll be propping up the bourgeois state in no time.
