Grant UK citizenship to EU citizens after 5 years of residency

Petition Details

EU citizens have no say in general elections, and we need this changed. Grant residing EU citizens (after 5 years and with clean criminal record) UK citizenship.

Additional Information

There are over 3.7 million EU citizens living in the UK, calling UK their home. They work, have families and contribute to economy (https://fullfact.org/immigration/eu-migration-and-uk/). Their contribution to British society cannot be marginalised

EU citizens were denied a vote in the 2016 referendum, even those who have lived and worked in the UK for decades.

EU citizens have no say in general elections, and we need this changed by granting all residing EU citizens UK citizenship.
