Would you surrender your citizenship?

[MrGazet]

Would you? Say,if you have a better life in another country than your own.

People may have different views on this and I'm curious :P

As for me,I wouldn't.I'm not really patriotic but giving up my citizenship is OTT really.

So,thoughts? :)

[Robbie]

Most countries allow dual citizenship anyway but I'm not sure really, I'd need some serious thought

[MrGazet]

okay,let's pretend you come from a country where dual citizenship is not allowed.Would you?

[Grippz]

Depends really, I would if I liked the place I moved too

[wixard]

hell no

i want back to my original country

[Nixt]

I don't think I would. Home is where the heart is, after all! I'd miss home even more knowing it would be very difficult to return there.

[Jamiie]

I Agree With Garion, But it also depends on where my home town was.
Say it was somewhere horrible then mabye
But tbh i love my Hometown :)

[Suspective]

If I am honest I wouldn't. I am British and always will think of myself as British.

[Caution]

nawwwwww

[danzooo]

Why not? I couldn't care less tbh.

[The Professor]

Why not? I couldn't care less tbh.

Thank god someone said that I thought I was the only one thinking it :P Nope I'm not bothered in the slightest its just a field on a form, it doesn't have any real affect on any part of my life

[Pyroka]

Couldn't lose the fact I'm english, its just... my personality. Cant escape being english :P

I'd move, but I wouldn't surrender it if yknow what I mean

Exactly! Especially if it meant living in a better country than your own, then who cares?

Surely no matter where you lived though you would still regard yourself as British or whatever?

[camera]

no i wont. at most, ill take permanent residence. but ill never give up my citizenship.

[-Xiangu-]

I am British and will always be British, would never give it up.

[ItsDave]

I might be getting a dual-citizenship with Australia soon. No, this country's terrible. I'd be happy to surrender my citizenship.

[Black_Apalachi]

Why not? I couldn't care less tbh.

This. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why you would decline a better life elsewhere just to be able to say 'I'm English'. Who says you can't still call yourself English? I sometimes say I'm Irish even though there's no record of it anywhere other than I have Irish parents. Besides most countries probably think we're ***** anyway so it wouldn't be a big deal not to be recognised as English :P

[ifuseekamy]

Yeah, it's not a big deal.

[Japan]

I have a Japanese and English passport, but I'll have to give one up when I'm 21.

[jordan:j]

I live in one of the best areas in the world, so i would have to say no.

[-:Undertaker:-]

It depends really, i'm proud of my country of what its done in the past and i'm still proud of most of the people in this country and their beliefs. I think its hard to say until you are in a situation where you want to move but i'm pretty sure the United Kingdom allows dual-citzenship anyway?

[Metric1]

dualz, ftwww

[Bun]

nah i love my country.

[Hushie]

Well yeah...
I'd still have English or British nationality so why would it matter

[alexxxxx]

afaik you can renounce your british citizenship and get it back so i shouldn't see a problem with renouncing british citizenship. also, japan, are you sure you have to choose one or the other cause my cousins are dual british and jordanian and they don't have to give up either, nor does my mate who's italian and british, or my other friend who's israeli and british and another whose british-hongkong and british.

[CrazyColaist]

if my boyfriend suggest me to become south african then i would (hes part south african and part british) then yeah

if i had a choice then canadian all the wayyy xx

[Black_Apalachi]

Wherever you're moving to is better

[MrGazet]

too bad my country doesnt -cry- but i wouldnt surrender mine.permanent resident at most :)

[MrPinkPanther]

I happen to have been born on the patch of land that is Britain but it doesn't mean that I'm attached to it. I like the people here but if this other place is better then frankly I couldn't care less. Yes I'd renounce it.

A country is not just a piece of land, its land that many died for and a country also involves culture and tradition which is important.
