Give votes urgently to the 5½ million excluded from the Brexit referendum

Petition Details

The political scene is fragile and unstable because of the Government’s small majority with most MPs opposed to Brexit. Urgently enfranchise the some 5½ million excluded from the Brexit referendum (46½ million electors) so that future elections and referendums are more properly representative

Additional Information

The 5½ million are
a) 1.5 million 16- and 17-year olds in the UK (as could vote in the Scottish referendum)
b) 2.0 million British Citizens living abroad disqualified by the 15-year rule or because never on a UK electoral roll (as in the Conservatives’ as-yet unkept “Votes for Life” manifesto promise)
c) 2.2 million unenfranchised foreigners living permanently in the UK (as would be electors if in New Zealand)

Numbers are derived from 2014-15 ONS and UN data. For details visit bit.ly/2cn7hrO
