I went with BH to vote, where there were two older ladies at the door, one from the Lib Dems and one from the Conservatives. They asked whether I was voting and I explained that I wasn't a British citizen. "Oh, no problem," said the Lib Dem lady. "Welcome in!"

"I'm so sorry," said the Tory lady.

I can vote in the UK because I'm a Commonwealth citizen--maybe that's what the Lib Dems were thinking of?
