27. I'm not asking a child to pick anything

all I'm saying is that Mommy and Daddy need to pick one country for citizenship and go with it. If Mommy and Daddy aren't together and want to have different countries as their citizenship that's fine. Dual/multi citizenship gets abused for way more than a few billionaires dodging taxes. Furthermore what you label as fraud is not in a legal sense because they construct it in such a way as to comply with the legalities of their multi citizenship countries. Playing one off against the other because you derive some benefit from the legal/political system of one over the other etc. is something that people do and may be legal but is not some given basic right of humanity. It is a statutory construct and doesn't necessarily have to be allowed. The notion that a person is British when it suits them and then French when it doesn't and then Spanish if being French isn't to suit is absolutely bollocks and serves no purpose other than to game one against the other as it benefits most the supposed "citizen" who stretches the meaning of that word to absurdity.
