Reinstate burgundy as the colour used for British passports

Petition Details

Change the colour of the UK passport cover from dark blue to burgundy red. This is to reinstate consistency with most other European states.

Additional Information

We believe the blue passport was a totem of the Leave campaign. Polls now suggest that a majority of UK voters feel the decision to leave was a mistake, and that this is steadily increasing every year.

Given that the blue passport represents a change of which most holders may now disapprove, we believe that forcing this colour on them is the action of an unrepresentative state.

Reverting to burgundy is not the same as rejoining the EU. However, it would acknowledge the will of the people and geographic reality.”
