Eligible to Vote

I know people get to vote when they reached 21 years old. I have not yet to register in Malaysia, but what's surprising is I was requested to vote in UK. Not that I am a PR holder here or even the holding the citizenship here, am I really eligible to vote?

I saw this piece of notification early morning in my room. It is an official poll card. It written...

Parliamentary Election
When you go to the polling station, tell the clerk your name and address, as shown on the front of the card.

The clerk will confirm your details on the register.

When you are given your ballot paper, go to one of the polling booths. Mark a cross (X) in the box on the right hand side of the ballot paper opposite the name of the candidate you are voting for.

The polling day is on the 6 May 2010, in St. John's Primary School. Haha, as if I am really going to cast my vote. Conservatives calls seems ideal, but it will be stricter on immigration rules, not beneficial to me. Labour party is not any better though. I would support Liberal Democrats! Haha, but it is quite impossible for them to win. Let's just have a hung parliament, that would be the best choice.

Updates:

Conservative : 292 seats
Labour : 251 seats
Liberal Democrat : 52 seats

It's a hung parliament, since none of the party holds the majority seats.
