I agree with that for anyone who wants to hold more than a local office, but not necessarily for your average citizen. I have a friend with a US father and a New Zealand mother. She hold dual citizenship and I don't think there's any reason why she shouldn't.
What is the reason for her to retain her NZ citizenship? Is it just an emotional aspect, or does she receive physical/legal benefit from it?
She lives there 6 months out of the year.
So she does get a physical benefit from it. That makes sense. So does she have to pay taxes in both places for the advantages she receives? I'm not an adamant nut and surely don't know how it should all work out. I do believe politicians should be only citizens of our great country. When it comes to private citizens I suppose there are reasons, like her.
