I wasn't going to, but I found out that my constituency border is changing like a lot of places.  So I might vote now, I just need to do my homework to see the candidates.

Have you registered to vote yet? All you need is:

✅ Passport (current or expired)
✅ National Insurance number
✅ Part of your last address in the UK

It takes 5 minutes to register and the process has been made very simple.
To register, head to the government website: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote-@SimCityAT

You missed out one item when you said "All you need is.. " - politicians who actually give a toss about their constituents and country, rather than their own pockets and political careers. There are too many candidates for high office with grossly unrealistic estimations of their own capabilities.....
