What I’m saying is, there should be no option of quasi-citizenship. Either you enjoy all the rights and responsibilities of full citizenship, or you don’t.
We’ve already settled this argument long ago so it’s just a question of whether we’ll fairly enforce the conclusion we came to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-class_citizen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-class_citizen

Because that comes with it all kinds of other things like increased tax liabilities, social service responsiblities, jury duty, etc, etc. They've demonstrated repeatedly that they prefer their "quasi-citizenship" by boycotting the referendum vote.
