My Citizenship Journey

D.P. said:
I'm waiting to see if the republicans get thrashed at the elections and trump thoroughly humiliated. Then I might consider it but it doesn't really gain much.

I see that Canada is announcing Americans can emigrate there in case trump some how becomes president.

Bernie gets Democrat nomination

Bloomberg then steps up to run as an independent

this then splits the vote and lets a previously un-electable Trump win

(or a terror attack happens on US soil and voters swing round to Trump or Hillary gets charged or some other skeletons come out of the closet for her)

The UK... pretty much 50/50 going into the Euro referendum... some Euro politician says some silly comment and the Daily Mail milks it or some terror attack happens or Boris steps up and leads the out campaign... UK leaves the EU - Cameron steps down... Boris becomes PM

Going into 2017 with 'the Donald' in the White House and Boris in no 10. could happen.

I wouldn't worry about Brexit, it would cost the UK so much money that the stay campaign will turn into a financial juggernaut which will wipe the floor with the other side.

Yes fear factor.
Good.
Do not underestimate the power of people in large groups, they become very very stupid.


If we do brexit, i will certainly reissue an irish passport, currently on a british one, had both in the past, cba paying for both at the moment.
 
I dunno what to do my self tbh, I'm 99% sure British public will vote to leave and as a Lithuanian who got here when he was 14 I'm a bit unsure as to where to start really.. But good luck to you while I do more research and try to figure out the best approach to my situation..

It's like a plot to a horror movie.

The scary thing is ISIS know exactly the power they have over Trump supporters if some how he was the Republican nominee. A terror attack the day before election day and ISIS wins.

Surely the natural route would be this: https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen/check-if-you-can-apply?

Looks like you do two tests at most, pay some cash, get a passport. Simples. If we remain, you can still live, work and settle wherever in the EU.

If we leave, you don't have to jump through hoops to get residence or apply for citizenship in a huff. Who knows what the arrangements would become should we derp, and bail?
 
It's selfish for people to vote to stay in the EU on the merits that they won't be able to travel as easily as before, it's pathetic really, sovereignty and democracy is everything, right now we have neither and are oppressed by the EU.
 
Dual citizenship should be banned.

How can you trust anyone that's willing to swear allegiance to two countries just to make life easier, even worse if you become American, that involves renouncing all loyalty to your country of birth, and if you raise your right hand and make the oath but don't really mean it, that really doesn't say much about the character of the individual does it.

If you genuinely want to leave this country behind, then fine, become a citizen of your new country and good luck to you, but it should come with a cost for turning your back on your country of birth. And that cost should be losing citizenship of said country, that will make people actually think long and hard about doing it.

Some things are more important than having an easy option.

Many countries don't allow dual citizenship and neither should we.

Swearing allegiance is not a requirement of UK citizenship.
