Doesn't Go Far Enough

The Opposition Labour Party is considering plans to allow millions of EU citizens to vote in general elections. However, some critics argue that this plan does not go far enough and that the party should consider giving the vote to all permanent residents, regardless of their nationality.
Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has said that he is "open-minded" about the idea of giving EU citizens the vote. He has also said that he is in favor of lowering the voting age to 16.
However, some Labour MPs have voiced their opposition to the idea of giving EU citizens the vote. They argue that it would be unfair to give non-British citizens a say in how the UK is run.
The debate over whether or not to give EU citizens the vote is likely to continue in the run-up to the next general election. The Labour Party will need to decide whether or not it wants to make this a key part of its platform.
In the meantime, the government has said that it will not be introducing any changes to the voting system. This means that EU citizens will not be able to vote in the next general election.
