Scrutinise denial of voting rights for EU citizens in UK and UK citizens in EU.
EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens have been denied the right to vote in EU referendum. The democratic mandate of the 2016 referendum is hence in question. We demand a review of the democratic franchise criteria for EU residents, many with decades of residence and a new EU referendum.
Many people feel that they were disenfranchised including UK citizens resident abroad.
