Include 3 million EU residents in Britain in a new referendum

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Three million non-British UK residents have not been consulted in the referendum to stay in or leave the EU. Many of them have been taxpayers and contributed to the British economy for decades. They and their children are most directly affected by the consequences.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Allow European residents living in UK to vote if there's another EU referendum
