I think this is the only one likely to change / come into effect.
Implementing automatic voter registration.

The IPPR also said the government should consider enfranchising the 5 million long-term tax-paying residents who are not citizens "
Hmm… Call me old fashioned but I think voting should be reserved for citizens not simply if you pay taxes. If you want to vote then show that you want to be associated with the country you’re voting in and become a citizen. Living in a country and using it’s services is one thing but deciding where the country goes (however naively) is another.
