My wife is campaigning to change our antiquated electoral system to ensure that Service personnel (and their families) stationed overseas or deployed, can have a direct and secret vote in our forthcoming election. Other countries (Canada, Denmark for example) can manage it for their troops for their elections, without great problems (or expense), so why we unable to provide this most basic of democratic rights (which should be coupled with our responsibility to vote)? I know others have also campaigned on this subject in the past but we need to keep up the pressure (plus keep my wife, who I am sure has turned into a closet Bolshevik in her old age, off my back), so please look at the e-petition which is linked below (remember the success an e-petition had regarding BFPO facilities) .
