Strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats generally support immigration and multiculturalism. They have advocated for the rights of EU citizens in the UK during Brexit negotiations, which includes the right to hold dual citizenship. However, their stance on dual citizenship for non-EU immigrants is less clear, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, unless they have committed a crime

However, they have called for a more compassionate approach to immigration and have criticized the 'hostile environment' policy. This suggests that they might support some restrictions on dual citizenship for those with criminal records, but without a clear stance on this specific issue, the score remains moderate.
