    I don’t want a country where a mob can get a large enough petition to strip someone of citizenship on that basis.

      Me neither but that’s not what’s happening. The petition is not the basis for the action. The basis for the petition is the basis for the action, and the petition is a tool to demonstrate public support for the action.

      I won’t be signing it, though. This will help no one and I’d rather spend our political capital on things that do.

      There was a situation in Switzerland where the people in the canteen didn’t like this woman so they refused to approve her citizenship.
