Closed petition Votes for EU citizens, legally-resident here, in all future GEs and referenda.
Closed on
EU citizens, some here for decades, currently have no right to vote in our GEs and referenda. All such citizens legally resident here, and paying tax here, MUST in all conscience have such rights. Denial of such rights is a clear and unacceptable denial of democracy.
My own Swedish wife, resident here for 37 years, has no right to a democratic vote in GEs and referenda. She works here, has brought up our 3 children here, and pays taxes here. Denial of her democratic right to vote is clearly an outrage. The same thing applies to all EU citizens legally resident here. This is a stain on our democracy that must be addressed and corrected.
