Rejected petition Allow British EU citizens to keep their EU Passports and citizenship if desired.

Millions of British citizens identify as being European as well as British citizens. And many young Brits have lived their entire life as Europeans. Surely, it should be their right to choose whether they relinquish or keep this identity.

More details

Dual citizenship must be an option for those that consider themselves European as well as British. How can EU citizenship be forcibly taken away from those who feel (and who are) European? It's crucial that we think about the millions of Brits who have grown up as EU citizens from birth. They must have the right to keep their European identity should they wish.
