Background
We think anyone who has been granted ILR will already have made a significant contribution to the UK in a range of ways including paying Income Tax and National Insurance, and additional financial commitments through a variety of levies and visa fees. However, without a right to vote they have no say in how the contributions they have made to the UK are used.
