    This is such an under discussed point in general:

    And it points out that around five million tax-paying adults resident in Britain do not have the right to vote at present, because they are not citizens. They should be considered for enfranchisement, it said.

    I don’t think most english people even know about this

      Honestly, I think they have to become citizens first. Giving the vote to non-citizens would be a disaster in the current political environment and personally I don’t think it’s a good idea anyway.

      Now, is it worth reviewing the requirements for citizenship? Sure, but enfranchisement of foreign citizens, no.
