Give a vote to all UK residents in a second EU referendum

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We call upon HM Government to hold a second EU referendum to include all UK residents. In the last referendum, over 3 million non-UK citizens permanently living in the UK were excluded from a vote.

Over 3 million non-UK citizens who have legally settled in the UK were affected in the EU referendum without being given a democratic vote. They pay tax, contribute to society and the UK has been their permanent home for many years.
