Ibiza is renound for attracting the world’s party people and last week was no exception as Conservatives Abroad launched its latest new branch – Conservatives Abroad Ibiza.
Overlooking the secluded bay of Porroig, residents and visitors mingled in the beautiful home and gardens of Charlie and Louise Bracken for cocktails and canapes, generously sponsored by Ibiza-Southerbys.
Speaking at the event Conservatives Abroad National Chairman, Heather Harper, stressed the importance of the expat vote in the forthcoming General Election and urged everyone to register to vote in 2015.
Also speaking was Councillor Lindsey Hall, who has a family home on the island. Conservatives Abroad is supporting Lindsey’s parliamentary campaign for Westminster North in the General Election. Westminster North is a key seat for the Conservatives and Conservatives Abroad will be actively canvassing for her victory in 2015. You can see more about Lindsey at www.lindseyhall.co.uk
Conservatives Abroad is urging all expats to register to vote in 2015. Some 3.5 million Britons who live abroad are currently eligable to vote, which represents over 4,200 per Westminster constituency. Voters can register from the Conservatives Abroad website, www.conservativesabroad.org.
A further 2 million expats are excluded from voting, most because they are debarred from voting if they have lived abroad for more than 15 years. Conservatives Abroad is campaigning to remove this unneccessary restriction on Britons’ democratic rights.
