Rejected petition Brexit plans MUST retain full rights of UK citizens to live work & study in EU.

UK citizens have enjoyed the freedom to live, work and study throughout the EU on equal terms with other EU citizens. This right MUST NOT be traded away as part of Brexit negotiations. Millions of UK citizens, young and old, value these rights highly. They MUST be retained in any Brexit agreement.

More details

More than 16 million people, almost half of all those who voted, voted to remain in the EU. We value very deeply our freedom to work study and live freely throughout the EU without discrimination. We demand that these rights be maintained and protected in any future Brexit negotiations with the EU. We demand that our EU citizen rights shall NOT be traded away as part of the negotiations. These rights are central to the livelihoods, aspirations and future prospects of UK citizens of all ages.
