What the petition asks
EU citizens who have children born in the UK and are effectively permanently resident have a stake in this country's future. Some are married to British citizens and have been for decades.
My wife is French and has lived in and paid taxes in the UK for 50 years but not allowed a vote. My MP said she should have become British.
