Dunno. I imagine it's cos we're still notionally a monarchy and so all subjects of the Crown (inc commonwealth) have some form of voting right here.

But I don't really know. Anyway, as a spanish citizen, you can vote in spain and I won't be able to even when I move there. I'm not surprised it works the other way too.

Well that is wrong when it comes to Sweden and national elections.

Local and regional you get to vote after living a certain time in Sweden, but for the national parliament citizenship is required.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

It is possible that the list is only for local elections. That seems to be the case in Belgium, too.

And in France. Local and European (this includes eligibility).
