What the petition asks
To allow all and any Commonwealth nationalities, Australia, Indian, Canadian, Kenyan and Fijian, as well as Nepalese and Irish that have served in UK Armed Forces for a year or more to automatically qualify for residency and citizenship of the UK as an acknowledgement of service to the Crown.
It is morally wrong to expect a member of the Commonwealth to serve and put their life on the line for the UK and not be rewarded or recognised. It should be allowed that all and any Commonwealth nationalities, Australia, Indian, Canadian, Kenyan and Fijian as well as Nepalese and Irish that have served in UK HM Forces for a minimum of one year to automatically qualify for residency and citizenship of the UK as an acknowledgement of service to the Crown.
