Rejected petition Ensure UK citizens offered choice between EU versus UK passport in exit talks.
Leaving the EU removes individuals' EU citizenship. Only 37.5% of the electorate voted to leave. This does not give a mandate to remove citizenship from those who voted remain or did not vote. Consequently people should be able to individually decide which they retain, EU or UK citizenship.
