Require a UK referendum before any UK overseas territory is transferred

Petition Details

The UK has an Indian Ocean Territory that could be developed to benefit the UK and UK citizens. Other UK territories could be developed/developed more. We believe it is wrong to ignore these territories, and that they should not be given away without the public's agreement.

Additional Information

Retaining the Chagos Islands and developing them could benefit many UK citizens who could farm, fish, or do tourism. The Maldives does well out of tourism and is not far away. There are lots of islands which do well from these things. The descendants of the Chagos Islands' former inhabitants living in the UK could be invited to benefit from the development of these islands.
