Allow EU migrant workers to be able to vote in the In Out EU referendum 23/06/16

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

I work with the EU migrant community.Many of them have home, work, business here.This referendum directly effects them and it's not fair that they don't get a say.They add so much to the economy.
I am trying to start a trade union for EU migrant workers.They want to work and love in the UK.They work hard and pay taxes but are treated with disdain. I speak Polish and Russian and a bit of Romania. I know these people and they deserve a voice in the referendum. Many want to vote but can't.
