@9H3LC4B1yr1Y
only legal citizens should be allowed to vote, but the dutch government should open more paths to dual citizenship through naturalization.
@952CMLD2yrs2Y
No, democracy should not exist
@8R5KGDZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but after proving they understand how the government and politics of the Netherlands is set up.
@97LMVD52yrs2Y
European Union citizens should right to vote only in one country, on all levels, in the country they live (for instance after 5-10years living in a different country than origin, they could get the right to vote in a new country, losing the right in origin country), not necessarily the country passport (passports) they hold. People from outside of the EU could vote in case of 10 years living.
