Give the vote back to UK Nationals who have lived away from UK for 15+ years
We ask the present government to honour their manifesto pledge and give the vote back to UK nationals who have been denied a vote previously owing to having lived abroad for 15 years or more. As Brexit progresses we will have no vote anywhere.
Many of us who currently live in the EU will lose our votes in local and EU elections after Brexit and will consequently have no representation in either the UK parliament, the EU parliament or local elections in Europe. We will be disenfranchised on all fronts and there will be nobody who represents us.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government has said that it does have plans to change this rule. It's therefore not clear what action you would like the Government to take that is different from what it is already doing.
You can find more information in the Government's response to this petition:

If you would like the Government to ensure that the law is changed by the time the UK leaves the EU, you could start a new petition asking for that.
