Because they don’t know the local area and are not a citizen so we don’t know if they even are safe or qualified to vote or are just motivated by immoral thoughts.
@9M8FHPR1mo1MO
Foreigners do not live or work in the country generally and should not have a say in its policy or democracy.
@9M8BKH31mo1MO
Some areas are overpopulated with immigrants so they would vote based on their beliefs and not English beliefs.
@9M3KRB61mo1MO
If they do not live and reside in this country and proven their desire to do so, they have no say in the future of it.
they havent grew up in this country long enough to understand whats best for them majority of the British public

@9LWBKN42mos2MO
They should not be allowed to vote at all until they have lived in the UK for a certain amount of time (e.g. 5 years).
@9LVKYJT2mos2MO
Local elections are for the UK born people who have lived all there lives in the country and want what's best for the local British people
@9LPM5YL2mos2MO
That's a whole other story. They should because they only choose who leads local village/town where they live, not the whole nation.
@9FHYC259mos9MO
They may be unfamiliar or unaffected by policies they would be voting for, and also compromise national security and election integrity.
@9FHKVT29mos9MO
They will say tempt to sway votes to favour decisions that don’t have the intrest of British people at heart
@9FFX6QJConservative9mos9MO
Well I completely agree with the statement, why should it be any different than the national level? I believe there is a social contract between state and citizen, and if you want to have a say in how that state is ran then you need to be willing to sign up to the contract of citizenship with all the flaws and benefits which come with it. At the end of the day we're one team, a nation, and we can't afford to waste time on voices and aspects which don't benefit our 'team' necessarily.

The vote determines the leadership of the country and this right belongs to those who are committed to this country. Through foreigners voting a foreign government can influence the countries direction
@9FPJGSR9mos9MO
My answer is they will be used as tool in hands of different political parties and every few years are given empty promises
@9MQMRZ6Liberal Democrat3wks3W
They shouldn't be able to elect their fellows who will influence local political against British values in favour of foreign ones
