Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Let the public decide whether individually they want EU citizenship status.

Since the government and members of Parliament cannot decide collectively on terms of the Brexit deal, let the public decide whether they would like to keep their European citizenship status individually, because Brexit is not everyone's decision.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because it's the responsibility of the EU to decide who has EU citizenship and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to seek to negotiate this outcome with the EU if that's something you would like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
