Giant step for expats

THE news that expats will soon regain their right to vote in future UK general elections is music to the ears of the million or so Brits living in Spain.

After a long campaign to get the bill pushed through, parliament looks set to enforce the law in the upcoming months.

The timing of the general election may see expats ineligible to vote in this year’s elections but that will only slightly sour the celebrations of those who have campaigned long and loud for this change.
