Got a link that shows how these nations promote a dualie being able to hold office in the Federal gvt?
This is the third time that I've asked MF. If you can't find the info to support your position, just say so - there isn't any shame in being wrong on this.
Wrong about what?
A citizen of any country can take office for that country. Countries that allow for dual citizenships typically allow those members to take office for that country unless there is specific legislation which excludes it.
You can't prove a negative. Any evidence they discourage them? As far as I can tell, they neitehr encourage them nor discourage them any more than any otehr citizen. In short, they don't distinguish between their citizens. A citizen is a citizen. As a result there is no official document or law treaing duals differently.
Exactly. Unless it's explicitly excluded, it's assumed all citizens are equal.
I believe holding elections is un-Canadian. IMHO (Geezus, this is the first time I used an abbr.)
Screw the NGOs, most of them are fronts for something else. Bibles usually or high tech seed or vaccination or miseducation drug biz or slavers.
You're in a position wherein you can not provide any documentation to support your contentions and therefore believe that your assumptions must be true... This isn't a request to 'prove a negative' - it's a request to see support for your claims.
By all means, if you would like to look for legislation that specifically holds back a dual citizen from entering parliament, here's a thorough pdf which outlines the citizenship laws of the world.

A quick ctrl+f search shows Andorra as the only state which makes mention of parliamentary insurrection. Anyone from Andorra who holds foreign political office will lose their citizenship.
What? The claim that a dual citizen can run for office? As mentioned already, unless it's explicitly mentioned in their laws, it's assumed they can run like anyone else.
