or any other EU country
I generally choose my words very carefully on this forum wallace – I take the constant threat of a pedantic attack very seriously indeed. I said, cannot vote in “general elections”. EU nationals can only vote on local elections – not general elections.
Granted, my omission of Irish nationals right to vote was a serious error on my part, and I hope to learn from this shameful incident, in which I carelessly dropped my guard and exposed myself to a pedantic strike…..I’m sure I will.
OK Ern, I wasn’t trying to be pedantic! Now I have looked into it, and EU citizen cannot vote in a General Election and apologise that I suggested this, but qualifying Commonwealth citizens, as well as Irish Republic citizens can. So we were both sort of right and wrong!
