People do that here. They go from New York to Florida every year. But they only get to vote for a governor, senators, representatives etc. of one of those states.
So what of someone moves to a new state every 2 months, lives in short term rentals and ever up in 6 states/countries. Is there a limit?
That’s just not really related. Billionaires aren’t a reason to disenfranchise tax paying workers. They’re also a tiny group of people and they don’t consider their influence in light of a single vote, but in the power of money.
It’s a question of what’s local. For the nationalist, your City is local. My position is that for a United body like the EU, the state I live and work in is local.
Right and the state you spend the most time in should be the one you are able to vote in. That’s what I was saying the US actually does correctly (though they are constantly trying to take that right away from students in many red states).
I’m sorry you can’t conceive of being intimately connected to more than one place at a time.
Primary residence is a thing. It’s where you spend the most time in a year and therefore where the local politics will affect you the most.
Otherwise you can get billionaires going to dozens of countries to vote.
And if I switch from summer residence to winter residence every 6 months? I change my nationality every 6 months?
I live in one country but work in another? Different policies like worker right’s and residential policies affect me.

I’d be fine with getting their citizenship, but it shouldn’t automatically remove the citizenship of my home country.
People can and do have interests and investments in multiple EU countries, even if you do not.
The mobility of our workers is a strength.
