Over the last 6 months the Home Office has been taking some 4L applications and instead considering them on whether they can be approved under 4C instead.

I have looked at the text of the law, but am still not confident I know which 4L applications would be shoved into 4C applications.

Am I right in thinking that 4C may apply if the following 3 qualifications are satisfied?

1. The applicant was born before 1983 (so this excludes applicants born from 1983-1987).

2. The applicant would automatically be a British citizen by birth if their mother could have passed on citizenship the way fathers could (so this excludes children of British by descent parents).

3. They would have the right to abode in the UK before 1983 (unsure who additionally would be excluded?).

I thought this was the "no borders", mass migration party, but they seem incensed with the idea of having to actually house migrants in their own communities.

Apparently it is possible for a non-citizen to be elected to local parliament. Only in the UK....
