Allow permanent residents to vote in future general elections

Petition Details

Any citizens that are not British, Irish or from the Commonwealth cannot vote in the UK. This includes millions of tax paying, permanent residents who have lived in Britain for more than 5 years. The right to vote in general elections must be given to such residents to maintain democracy.

Additional Information

Two of the five British values are democracy and individual liberty.

These cannot be upheld as long as there are working adults in Britain that cannot choose the party to represent them and that cannot choose where their tax money goes. It is grossly alienating and undemocratic to deny residents who have lived in Britain for this long from voting and this cannot go on.
