Closed Stop the initiative to give UK citizenship to Chinese Hong Kong citizens.

Closed on

We demand that the government refrain from granting a new path to UK citizenship for the approximately 3 million Chinese Hong Kong citizens eligible per the proposed changes in the nationality law for British National Overseas passport holders.

We want to stop this change of the law because there has been no national referendum on giving 3 million Hong Kong citizens a path to British citizenship and there is no clear evidence of overwhelming support for this action to be taken.
