In his report into the current condition of citizenship in the UK, former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, recommended that only British, Irish and European citizens should have the fullest rights to ‘political participation’ in the country.
"It is an independent report. The report is before the Government and it is considering it. No final decision has been taken," a spokesman of the Ministry of Justice said.
The report 'Citizenship: Our Common Bond' recommended that the right to vote of non-citizens should be phased out while retaining the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and Irish citizens who have Irish citizenship by connection to Northern Ireland.
Lord Goldsmith was asked by Prime Minister Gordon Brown last year to conduct the review.
The report contained key findings from a five-month investigation into the current condition of citizenship in the UK.
The proposals will come up before Parliament in November, sources said.
"My report discusses measures to address that and makes a range of proposals that touch every stage of an individual's life. My recommendations are intended to promote the meaning and significance of citizenship within modern Britain," Goldsmith said.
hmmm ...it says commonwealth citizens will lose the right to vote while EU citizens living in UK will continue to be able to vote. It deosn't say British citizens of Indian origin will lose the right to vote. Does this mean that people living in UK who are not UK citizens but citizens of a commonwealth country like India get to vote in UK elections ? This report is a bit confusing. If that is the case then there is no need to start jumping around feeling miffed at the miscarriage of democracy in the white world. Can someone living in UK shed some light on this ?
Calling yourself "True Indian", being from a neighbouring country, you might want to choose an appropriate name for yourself.
And we are allowing a foreigner to dictate our country's policies
Vivek and Hardhitter, This is about UK. It is their country so we should keep quiet...
What I was trying to say, is that the white world reacts in a different way when Uganda passes legislation to get some property back from white looters and chooses to butt in at every opportunity whether it be Gujarat or Sonia's PM candidature. But dont talk about their things be it this issue or their treatment of blacks in US.
What do the White Human Rights Commission and Uncle Sam have to say to this now???
Well,nothing, as it does not effect them.It only effects the so-called Third World countries.
