US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]
The US government should make foreigners give up any additional citizenships if they are naturalized. Problem solved.
No, it's not. In order to renounce Polish citizenship you have to apply directly to the President of the Rep. of Poland. Then your application gets stuck inside some 1,5 km high pile of papers. Then our Presidente refuses to renounce your citizenship, because being a Polish citizen is equivalent to being a property by Poland.
It's an interesting point. But following your logic, would you then accept that foreigners living in Poland, working and paying taxes there, have the right to vote?
I hope this will be addressed by the lawmakers not only in Poland but also in other civilised countries. You already have the right to vote in European and, I suppose, local elections (at least in the UK). Additionally, I can also vote in elections to Scottish Parliament. The people living long term in countries but not holding their citizenships should be allowed to vote after some time. However, I suppose there would be some opposition - which would be absolutely understandable - against participation of people who only take from the system contributing nothing or little. So I guess in this case you'd have to bring along your payslips in order to vote :)
