Formally request the EU allow UK citizens to request EU citizenship after Brexit

Closed 2,047 signatures

What the petition asks

It is clear that only 36% of the UK population voted for Brexit despite the more publicised voter turnout of 51.89% leave voters

The EU would agree that 64% of UK citizens (quite possibly more now) would like to remain or at the least retain EU citizenship as they oppose solo UK citizenship
