Rejected petition UK citizens should be offered EU citizenship as part of the Brexit negotiations.
48% of the UK population voted to remain in the European Union. Parliament voted by a majority to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and commence exit from the EU. The process has begun but 16 million want to remain. The UK government must negotiate EU citizenship for UK citizens as an option.
