Change the eligibility criteria for the upcoming referendum on UK EU membership
The referendum on the UK in the EU could impact the right of millions of British citizens living across the EU to stay in their host countries. If they left the UK 15+ years ago they have no vote in their own future unlike UK-resident Irish and Commonwealth citizens. This is both unjust and unfair.
