What the petition asks
As all Long-Term UK citizens living in the EU were refused a right to vote in the recent referendum, that will affect their residential status, a specific Ministry must be created to uphold all their acquired rights during the article 50 negotiations.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
A government department has already been established with responsibility for Brexit. It is not clear what additional action you want.
