Rejected petition Allow UK citizens (living in the EU for 15 years or more) full voting rights.

I wanted to vote in the EU referendum in 2016, but was told I couldn't because I have been living in the Eurozone (outside the UK) for more than 15 years. I can't vote in UK general elections or those of my host country within the EU. A law should be passed to change this situation.
