Vote Saxon

The saying "vote saxon" came from the popular TV show Doctor Who, where an enemy called the Master uses a false identity and subliminal messages to become prime minister of Britain before launching the Earth into chaos with an attack he himself planned. "Vote Saxon" is a term that should be used to refer to voting or being in favor of something without really knowing much about it, and usually has a negative connotation.

Anglo-Saxon

In modern usage it refers to anyone of English descent. In historical terms it describes the Germanic invaders from Saxony, and lower Denmark who invaded England shortly after the retreat of Rome from Britannia. Anglo-Saxon people tend to be members of the Anglican Church (Church of England) but this is not always true. Though England is part of the United Kingdom, the other "home nations" of the U.K. are inhabited by the descendats of Celts, not by Anglo-Saxons. This is why only English people are referred to as Anglo-Saxon.
Only people of English descent are Anglo-Saxon.

anglo-saxon

The Germanic-speaking descendants of three tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who came from Denmark, northwestern Germany, and Holland, who settled in what are now England and southern Scotland in the fifth century, displacing the native Celts. Though they had close cultural ties with Scandinavia, they were on the recieving end of the Viking Raids from 793 to 1066, when the Anglo-Saxon government (now mostly under the control of Vikings) was annihilated by the Normans, a powerful group of French-speaking Vikings.
Beowulf is a notable example of Anglo-Saxon verse.

anglo-saxon

One of descent from England, but no-where else (not even other parts of the united kingdom) who can trace his or her mitochrondric DNA to either the anglo mitochrondric eves or the saxons mitochrondric eves. Basically, if your family lived in England before 1066, you are of anglo-saxon descent. This label is NOT extended to Normans. Simply being pre-plantagenet is not enough to be considered anglo-saxon.
Many people who believe they are white anglo-saxons are infact, not.
