Petition Action

Make this country work for people who need to remain EU citizens

Petition Details

The Prime Minister has pledged to make the UK a country that works for everyone. On the day that I lose my EU citizenship, my business collapses because I will no longer be eligible for much of the work that I do. This country cannot work for me unless I retain my EU citizenship.

Additional Information

I and many people like me have built businesses based on consulting work that is financed either by the EU itself or by member states. Our eligibility for that work depends on being EU citizens. There are many others whose business interests depend on EU citizenship. The Prime Minister has pledged to make this a country that works for everyone. We hereby hold her to that pledge by finding a way to enable us to retain our EU citizenship, however politically inconvenient that may be.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the effects of the UK leaving the EU on people who would like to remain EU citizens, but we're not sure what action you would like to see to support those people.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
