The government now stands at a crossroads, and the first step they must take is to expand full voting rights to every permanent citizen in the country.

This may very well be the last time we get to vote in these elections, and a large part of how the next years shape up will be down to us. Our future is in our hands.

Scientists say we have five years to change course on climate change. The next European parliament term is five years – they are a matter of life and death.

It's cock-up, not conspiracy - but the end result is the same. Countless EU citizens in the UK are being blocked from voting in the European parliamentary elections by onerous bureaucratic requirements, institutional complacency, and an administrative system which was taken by surprise that they were happening at all.

If we really want to rule out no-deal, Britain needs to take part in the European elections. No-one wants to hear this, but it's true. Labour and the Tories both hate it. The Europeans despise it as much as the British government does. But it has to happen. If it doesn't, no-deal becomes much more likely.
