The blogs are hilarious and just like an a.com debate.

OMG not all that stuff again. I thought we had exhausted the vote UKIP rubbish in earlier threads!

Of course you are perfectly entitled to your opinion about the future of the UKs membership. My frustration is over silly "vote ukip" postings especially when they come from those who don't even live in Spain. As I recall UKIP doesn't even have a policy regarding British voters living overseas which is what this particular thread is about.

Really? I posted this because I thought it interesting that the current government is prepared to court overseas voters and we could all enjoy our new-found importance to the outcome of the next election. It's not any sort of ukip thread repeat. It was intended as a light-hearted diversion and not intended to raise anyone's blood pressure. Chill, masterob.

Lavanda, fear not I'm quite chilled even if the weather isn't! I know why you posted, just a pity the next post had to refer to UKIP.

I believe political parties wanting to "woo" particular groups of voters generally find that bribery works quite well - maybe they could make a start by dropping threats to take away the WFA and up the ante from there!

At the moment my vote could be bought for a summer chill allowance.
