Keeping our EU citizenship post-Brexit

The Issue

Right now, Brits are also citizens of the European Union. This means we can live, travel, work, study, retire, and start a business throughout the EU with the minimum of bureaucratic fuss & bother. The day the UK leaves the EU however, that ends. Many of the opportunities we have in life will, in an instant, disappear.

The UK Government should seek to secure, as part of any exit deal, the opportunity for UK citizens who want to maintain their citizenship of the EU - with all the freedoms and opportunities that go with that - to do so.
