The dream* may have been related not only to my current interest in joining the Labour Party, but also to the sudden realisation of how the present Government’s enfranchisement of UK citizens resident overseas – including long-term residents overseas – increasing the electorate by as much (apparently) as 2½ million – may overturn the predictions of opinion polls based presumably on UK samples.

There was a nasty report recently that Conservative Party officers were suggesting that overseas supporters should register in marginal constituencies, irrespective of connection.
