Reform Britain’s colonial-era voting system.

Petition Details

Who can vote in the UK hasn’t moved on since the days of Empire. The EU ref showed its absurdity. As an Indian citizen, I could vote but my EU neighbours and British relative in Brussels couldn’t. This must change. All legally resident in the UK, Brits overseas & 16-18 year olds must have the vote.

Additional Information

Brexit has stripped bare the dysfunctionality of British politics. Polls reveal 82% say “British politics is working poorly at present”. Amidst talk of a democratic deficit & need for a new constitutional settlement, the question of who actually gets to vote has been ignored.

As student climate strikers demand a youth vote, EU residents & overseas Brits call for political representation, these issues demand attention. We need Parliament to act to bring Britain's democracy into the modern age.
