Nationality HELLOOO you seem confident in your knowledge well let me correct you on just a few things firstly speaking as one who has lived in an English speaking country since he was born the word nationality has two meanings in any good detailed dictionary to which ethnic group or its nearest description is both the first of the two as well as the one which originally defined the word In the UK people often enquire about nationality not knowing themselves exactly what the Hell they mean ask me I ve been there thousands of times As for Citizenship means Nationality that too is inaccurate Citizenship is merely one form of that type of nationality legal individual status the second description There are atleast four other strands of nationality which are not citizenship whoever acquires what is down to the circumstances Finally if as you say the English language nationality means legal status why apply it to a politician Where is the sense in a Swedish citizen national running affairs in Malta Unless he were Maltese by some form of documentation there would be a conflict of interest And even if you can answer that one perhaps you should check Ibrahim Rugova remember him What does it say on his nationality Or will you poke fun at the user who submitted his entry
