Expats in London are going ahead with a march on Saturday apparently. In spite of Saffas abroad being given the right to vote abroad by a court in PTA recently, the Londoners (expats) still believe that there is something worth marching for. I couldn’t agree more.
It is fantastic that the nod has been given to expats to allow them to vote, but that is in theory. In practice there is still alot to be fought for an won. voting stations, registrations polls, government money spent, political parties canvassing and so and and so on. There really are many different aspects to keep in mind here and it is not going to be a walk in the park, or up to an embassy to cast a vote overseas.
Here are the details if you are in London:

For good measure here’s a video of their last march in London:
