Should immigrants to the United Kingdom be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Dual citizenship (also known as dual nationality) is allowed in the UK. This means you can be a British citizen and also a citizen of other countries. You do not need to apply for dual citizenship. You can apply for foreign citizenship and keep your British citizenship.
@8RS8QMW3yrs3Y
@8RMY2Y23yrs3Y
Yes but only from the European Union, the Commonwealth, and other allied nations
@8PXTKW93yrs3Y
@8PPHWP83yrs3Y
Immigrants should be offered the choice, British citizenship or return to their country of origin; if they are here permenantly why do they need dual citizenship?
What about people who aren't here permanently, but also aren't in their other nation permanently? Some people immigrate but still spend significant amounts of time in their home countries, why should we force them to leave their old citizenship behind, and what if they have birthrights to both citizenships? For instance with a British dad and an American mother?
@9LDN5ZY3wks3W
Yes unless they have committed a crime, been involved with or promoting terrorism and only after five years of an impeccable record and good working practices
@9JHYPPS3mos3MO
Future applicants should be refused from holding dual citizenship status, except for the Anglo-sphere countries.
@92Q6QBJ2yrs2Y
Yes, except if they have committed a crime such as rape, murder, paedophilia, serious assualt, domestic violence, major fraud, terrorism, trafficking, drug dealing etc. If they have committed any of those they should not be let in the country
@92GKVQL2yrs2Y
@92CBY5B2yrs2Y
Yes, unless they have been convicted of a criminal offence which required sentencing at crown court
@927ZDP42yrs2Y
Yes, so long as the holder is not a threat to the primary country (the UK)
@8Z5C3QY2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should not claim more than two countries & shouldn't have this right if they're criminals or terrorists.
@8Z4B59N2yrs2Y
No, they should only be considered a UK citizen as they no longer live in their home country
@8YWYTW72yrs2Y
Only if they have lived here for a number of years
do not get the question
@8YHDLJB2yrs2Y
Yes, but their other citizenship should be suspended when they are in the UK and their UK citizenship when they are in their other country
yes but only if the other country is a nato member
@8X8PZSZ2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as the 2nd citizenship is that of an ally
@8WLMDQ93yrs3Y
Yes if they have been fully integrated into their society
@8W74MHRLibertarian3yrs3Y
Yes. Having dual citizenship will make it easier to deport them back to their country of origin if they commit crimes.
The public will be asked via Liquid Democracy
@8V2Y7PZ3yrs3Y
Legal immigrants that want to live in the UK should give up dual citizenship and just become British citizens

@8SR3H9N3yrs3Y
Yes, as it makes it easier to strip them of UK citizenship & ban re-entry or & deport.

yes unless they have committed a crime or an act of terrorism
@8SMSXHT3yrs3Y
If they wish to make the UK their home after a number of years then that would be an appropriate thing to do.

Alteast three passports
@8S2GKKC3yrs3Y
Dual or multiple as far as I’m concerned. I hope to see the nation state as an entity and the misery caused by borders and the rules surrounding them become obsolete within my lifetime.
