Yes

Citizenship is a contract between state and citizen - and the fact is foreigners have a contract to another state before that of our own meaning they're more inclined to the interests of foreign states. You also have to consider the financial contribution they make to the UK, are they a taxpayer?

they most likely still have their own ideals and beliefs from their foreign country still and vote in favour for their foreign country.

They do not know what we know about our country. They do not have even a basic understanding of how it works since they did not even pass the basic civics test. Also only British people can decide what happens in Britain.

They weren’t born here and therefore have no right to national decisions. If they want to vote, become British.

Foreigners may not intend to stay and may not fully understand the policies of the party for which they are voting

They shouldn’t be able to influence the way our country is run when they do not even originate from here

They are not British citizens and may choose to return to their home country so they shouldn’t have a say oh how the uk is run

They don't truly represent the real born and bred British public who shouldn't be represented by foreigners.

Foreigners should have the right to vote but only if they are a citizen because it is our country so it would only make sense for people who actually have taken the time and the care to become a member of our great nation. Also I would rather people who have taken a test about our country would take a vote rather than someone who has not.

Why should they chose who the prime minister is when they are in and out of the country and weren't born here

We don’t need outside voters. We need to the ability to take into consideration outside thoughts, in order to generate our own thoughts. The thoughts of current citizens.

No other Countries allow foreigners who aren't citizens to vote in their Country so why should the UK be the exception to the norm.

For example almost 60% ( lot of them aren’t citizens but residents only ) of London residents aren’t born in the UK, you want to exclude massive part of population. It would be not fair.

Why should people who aren’t legal residents of the country have the ability to dictate as to what happens within the country.

they havent grew up in this country long enough to understand whats best for them majority of the British public

Foreigners should be willing to accept and/or adapt to their chosen countries policies and way of life without trying to bring their own policy or ways of life to us to try enforce it in another country.

Only if they become British citizens do they then earn the right to vote. If they are, happy for them to contribute to the country they have chosen as home.

You should have to live and work here , pay taxes for a number of years (3-5) and hold full British citizenship to earn the right to vote and make decisions for the future of the country

If they aren't permanent residents, as it suggests, why should they be able to vote on how the country is run if long term they are not going to see the changes from it

they have chosen not to become a UK citizen and therefore have chosen not to have the right to vote.

Foreigners are not nationally, culturally and traditionally connected to the nation, therefore they should not have the right to vote.

The right to vote is the right of citizens of this country, id expect the same if I wasn’t a citizen of another country

If they are here illegally then they are criminals just like those imprisoned in this country for committing crimes they should not be allowed to vote and really shouldn't be here at all. On the other hand if they are here legally, for example, with a work visa then government policies do have an impact in them but they aren't permanently here so don't really need to vote.

It seems unfair that foreigners could have a say in our electoral system as well as their own country’s.

Of thay canot pass a basic understanding test thay should even be here let alone have the right to vote

Why should someone who isn't from England decide who runs England
Just remember that other countries have other ideologies and as much as they are entitled to have those ideologies they shouldn't take priority over the ideologies of the common British citizen

If you’re income is sent home to your native country then you are not supporting the infrastructure of this country & lose your right to vote

A general election is the opportunity for the public to decide their leadership. Non UK citizens have no input.

The state exists to look after the interests of the people and is meant to be an expression of their will. If foreign non-citizens can vote, the will of the British becomes diluted by people who have not made a commitment to this nation and may not be around to face the consequences.

the fact is foreigners have a contract to another state before that of our own meaning they're more inclined to the interests of foreign states. You also have to consider the financial contribution they make to the UK, are they a taxpayer?

They shouldn't have a say on a country they are not from. Focus on changing your own country instead of someone elses's. Unless they have lived in the country for a very long time I don't think they should be able to tell me how I should live in my country.

If you don’t live in the UK, understand or integrate into our culture, or contribute to the economy you should not be entitled to vote.

They have no experience within the country, they are not acclimatised to our way of life, they do not know our values and if they are not staying here they should not have the right to dictate our future.

If they are not a taxpayer then they should not have the right to influence change in a society they do not contribute to. I can’t vote in another country’s election as a foreigner. I honestly cannot get over this is up for discussion!

Immigrants pay more tax into the country than people who live here so surely they deserve the right to vote equally as much if not more.

They may vote in a way just to benefit their life here and not for the good of the country as a whole.

People from foreign countries do not have the required knowledge of our heritage and traditions to vote on issues regarding this country and our people.

Some foreigners have come over and are claiming benefits and not contributing to tax. Therefore they are not helping with the economy and are taking tax payers money. They should not vote as their vote is selfish to help them stay being lazy and getting tax payers money for an easy life.

Why should people not of our own, not of British birth, that have no understanding of the people’s struggle of Britain be given the right to vote? These are people that don’t have the image of Britain in mind, as they are not patriotic to the first country that allowed them in, but only have their own intentions in mind.

foreigners that are not citizens should not be allowed to vote as they are not a resident of this country and could have a massive effect on our voting system.

Only citizens of a country should have the right to vote in that country. Someone living a working in the Uk , pay8ng taxes temporarily has no say in the matter, they will be gone and their vote will affect citizens.

How can you make an educated decision on a vote without experience or general language understanding. It’s the same as why children can’t vote because of a large lack of understanding to make a sensible choice

They are not completely integrated and may have differing views that may harm the country and its progression

People who cone to the country have to first integrate and understand society, be accepted i to it as members before they can make decisions.

The democratic system of this nation should only be decided by those who legally reside here and are citizens. Otherwise people who are not British might come here to vote in ways which benefit their home country to the detriment of the uk.

we are citizens of the uk too and have visas to live here, even though we werent born here we should still earn the right to vote in the country and government we live in/with

Foreigners are not british born citizens and do not have any right to vote for which party controls the country of British born people.

If a foreigner wants the right to vote in the UK, they should obtain citizenship and demonstrate a proper connection to the country.

It will allow the influence and governing of natives to the country to be dictated by those unnaffected. Representation by an unconnected party.
