Rejected petition Allow EU Citizens to vote for the Referendum and General Elections.

EU Citizens living in the UK for decades are not allowed to vote for the Referendum and General Elections. This means that millions of votes are not casted. Why can't EU Citizens who live and work in the UK have a voice?

More details

I am a EU Citizen who has lived in London for 27 years. Always worked, married, have a family and run a business. I cannot vote for the General Elections and the Referendum because I am not a UK Citizen so I cannot have a say in how the country I call home is run.
