If you have changed address since completing your annual canvass form, or your name does not appear on the Register at all, you can complete a Rolling Registration Form to have your name added to the Register. There are two types of form available; one for individual electors and one for the whole household. This form must be signed by each person applying to be added to the Register.

http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/ is the site you want to start at and register online.
Assuming you get it done in time, they'll post you your polling card.
You don't need a polling card to vote, but it helps. You can use photo id with an address such as your driving licence.

Yes, Labour have been redistributing money from primarily London and the South East to the North through redistributive taxation.

So with the upcoming cuts thanks to Labour's overspending it'll be interesting to see whether Oldham et al continue to get this money and how much taxes will have to continue to rise to fund it or if it stops and what happens then. In this part of the country our council tax has increased considerably over the past years due to central government funding being taken away, apparently to fund projects in Oldham and other places.

Be interesting to see what happens.

In some ways this election is made for the phrase: 'Plus Ã§a change, plus c'est la mÃªme chose'.

If it's delivered I'll be happy to be sick of it for the next 4 weeks.

Someone needs to poke Brown in his good eye to get him to buck his ideas up if he wants any chance of winning this election.

LOL. I love watching politicians go around meeting people and handshaking. So pointless as Brown pretends to be interested in the random people he shall meet for those fleeting seconds.

Well there are a few around here who still seem believe his promises for some weird reason... Apparently he's going to clean up politics........... again..... :rolleyes:

What makes you believe the Tories though? I agree with you on Labour but the Tories were hardly a friend of public services in the 80's and they seem to be promising both savings and no reduction in public services which doesn't make sense to me?
