Citizens of Europe should certainly be entitled to vote in European elections. I am not so sure about their right to vote in UK elections. These are two separate issues I think-
There has to be a full inquiry both in the UK and in the EU into why so many EU citizens and Britons abroad were denied a vote in #EP2019

I'm a supporter of fair and decent democracy, unfortunately not what we have under this conservative government
No taxation without representation, Mr Gove - or were you proposing to waive taxes for non-UK EU nationals?
We are all Europeans and those who live in Britain should have a vote here, just as those Britons who live abroad should have a vote in this election.
Gove is ignorant or mendacious: no vote = no democracy.
Democracy means following the rules as a matter of course, not just having them or gaming them.
We need all our courage
Participation in Britain's politics has been far too low and we have left it to elites or extremists to govern/misgovern/manipulate us for too long. We need more ordinary common-sense people elected by informed people - not the ignorant or innocent victims of false propaganda or promises or those who blindly follow a local or family tradition.
Brexit must stop and full rights must be restored to non-UK EU citizens. Johnson's Criminal Enterprise must cease.
With everyone voting the outcome would have been so different and so much better.
I am British, living in Greece with a German husband. I love every country in the EU and want to stay part of it and have voting rights. The British in the EU and the Europeans in the UK would have made a big difference in the referendum and last election if only they could have voted. This makes me quite 😡 angry.
I have been at the receiving end of this form of disenfranchisement!
It all adds up to the deceit we are subjected to.
I share exactly what has happened and the way how this battle is conducted and I'll continue to support it in future as I did in the past. Ruggero Rudi Cusmano
Although I still pay UK income tax on my government pension, I haven't been able to vote in UK for several years, having lived in France for over 15 years. I just don't think this is fair, especially as Brexit will affect me for the rest of my life!
I enjoy being in the warm belly of the EU yet Bojo is trying to make enemies of all foreigners ( excl. Yanks ). We should all be free to work and play wherever we will without let or political hindrance. As an RU citizen I must not be denied my rights, inc. the right to vote.
No-one who lives in the UK should be denied the right to vote.
Real Democracy does not stop at frontiers
People entitled the vote should be given the means to do so in time - otherwise it is disenfranchising them.
If Britons abroad and Eu citizens here had been able to vote Brexit would never have happened. A gross injustice.
In a democracy all are entitled to vote, those who pay taxes and contribute to the society they live in. It is disenfranchisement to deny legitimate residents and nationals living abroad their right to vote.
People who live in Britain and contribute to our society should be able to vote. No ifs or buts.
I want to have a vote!
This Campaign is crucial to avoid widespread disenfranchisement.
It is outrageous that long term residents and tax payers in the UK should be denied a vote simply because of their country of origin, even if they have UK partners or children. One citizen, one vote.
