Petition Negotiate EU Citizenship for those 18+ at the time of the EU referendum

The vote for Brexit was close. 48% of the country voted to Remain. We believe those who did should not have lost their EU citizenship. I would like the Government to negotiate with the EU to allow British citizens who were aged 18+ before the referendum to regain their EU citizenship.

More details

As part of the Good Friday Agreement, people in Northern Ireland can choose to identify as British, or Irish, or both. Such flexibility has helped maintain peace within a very divisive context.

I don’t believe that Remainers should have lost their EU citizenship rights, and believe that allowing these to be regained would go some way towards healing the binary, hostile atmosphere that has afflicted British politics.

It should only be offered to British citizens aged 18+ before the referendum vote and by application only.
