Rejected petition Give tax paying residents in Britain the vote. Regardless of country of origin.

Many residents of Britain are denied the vote, simply because they were not born here. These residents pay into the same tax system as all other citizens.
They should be given the same voting rights in all elections and referendums, since they also invest heavily in this country and its future.
