Often the rule is that one gets the vote in local elections after living for some time, but only citizens can vote in national elections (Parlament, President).

Often the rule is that one gets the vote in local elections after living for some time, but only citizens can vote in national elections (Parlament, President). This makes sense. If you want to fully participate in a society, you should integrate and become a citizen.
- systemtest 11mo agoI personally believe that voting should be based on residency, not citizenship. If you live in the country you can vote. If you don’t live in the country you can’t vote. Simple. No taxation without representation.

- econ 11mo agoRepresentation without taxation seems even more offensive. But the real joke has to be to vote for laws for others (not you) to be subjected to.
- machomaster 11mo agoEven the USA has no problem taxing without representation. Representation without obligation (e.g. to be drafted) is even wilder.
