Everyone who has spent more than five years of their life committing their life to living in the UK should be given the right to have a voice. Acquiring UK citizenship can be a lengthy and expensive process, a process which many in the UK are simply unable to go through. Someone’s circumstances should never inhibit their democratic power, which ties into a golden rule of democracy: “No taxation without representation."
