Is the Sky News headline.
I didn't know politicians could vote
So do Corbyn, May etc go and vote for themselves?
What about the Queen? Does she vote? |  |

Everyone who has a birthday can vote rommers so the queen gets to vote twice. I believe she does postal rather than queue up with the plebs. |  |

Its a b*gger for people born on the 29th February. They are only allowed to vote when a GE falls in a leap year. |  | | |

Yes, of course they do - they're entitled to a vote the same way as everyone else.
The only person who doesn't vote is the Queen. |  |

Prisoners, lunatics and Members of the House of Lords are the only UK citizens not allowed to vote.
The Queen technically can vote, but never does so, regarding it as constitutionally dubious.
MPs, including the party leaders, are ordinary citizens, same as the rest of us, therefore eligible to vote - even for themselves if registered in their own constituency. |  |

What's the definition of lunatic here?
Also anyone who has been convicted of a crime in relation to a previous election in the past 5 years, interestingly - they might not necessarily be inside. | |

well as there's the (slight) potential that her party could form part of the people governing us from tomorrow i suppose, as i surely must have the freedom to do so, i'd better involve myself in the consideration of whether i vote for the SNP or not....oh |  | | |

That's true, for got those barred by conviction for electoral malpractice.
Lunatic has an incredibly loose definition (the word "idiot" is also used). In practice, those confined to psychiatric hospitals at the time.
Here is an article on it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/2437878/Idiots-and-lunatics-may-be-give | |

It is probably worth pointing out that the overlap between lunatics and members of the House of Lords has got smaller since most hereditary peers lost their right to sit in the Upper Chamber. |  |

Tho hereditary peers (apart from the 92) have gained the right to vote and to stand for election to the Commons. | |
