Allow foreign long term UK residents to vote in general elections and referendum
A significant amount of UK taxpayers have foreign citizenship and do not have the right to participate in major political decisions, such as general elections and the recent referendum. For long term residents, that have spent most part of their tax paying life in the UK, it is not fair.
I am calling for a change in voting regulations, in which UK foreign residents, that have lived in the country for a considerable amount of time, will have a say in important decisions, that can so greatly affrect their lives.
