Give EU citizens living in UK voting rights for referenda and general elections

What the petition asks
EU citizens living in the UK can vote in local elections, but not in general elections. Each referendum has its own eligibility rules, which can exclude EU citizens. Yet these votes are making decisions that are very relevant to EU citizens.
EU citizens living here pay their taxes just like everyone else and would like a say what happens.
