You think that's strange, you should see what happens here in Australia. The
Australian Constitution is quite clear that no-one who owes allegiance to a foreign
crown is eligible to sit in Parliament.
As some countries (noticeably I think Greece and maybe Italy) don't allow their
citizens to renounce their citizenship, it is considered OK if the member makes a
statutory declaration that they don't want to be a citizen anymore and gives it to the
embassy or high commission of their country.
However roughly a third of Australian MPs admit they are citizens of one country or
another. The only MP in recent times to lose their seat as a result of this was from
the small populist One Nation party, which surprised a lot of people by disqualifying
the candidate bercasue she was a British citizen. The law here is very selective and
crooked, it's like some crooked small town government spread across an entire vast
continent.
Our former PM Bob Hawke, Rhodes Scholar and notorious drunk, held an (honorary)
citizenship of Israel while he was PM. Did he stand down? What do you think.
