Re: Usefulness of an British Passport
I can understand being interested in the reasoning, but that doesn't mean the decision is stupid. There may be people that want to cling onto their citizenship like a security blanket, but it's perfectly fine if others don't.
Yes, 'who knows what the future will bring?' - but staying British isn't going to solve every problem that comes along. Yes I think it is judgemental that people think that someone getting rid of their British citizenship is stupid. Of course it's easier to keep it - that's a given, but it doesn't matter if someone doesn't want to.

It absolutely IS stupid to go out of one's way to renounce British citizenship because there is no upside to doing so as far as I can tell. One would have to go out of one's way to give up citizenship, if you can think of upside to that then I am happy to be enlightened.

Who said that staying British will solve every problem that comes along? Not talking about renewing the passport here, lets not confuse renewing passport with giving up citizenship.

If you want to become an Australian MP/Senator, you must renounce non-Australian citizenship.
