Absolutely simplistic binary not dissimilar to belief in God vs no belief.

We always share ambiguous loyalties while nation states are quite abstract and artificial constructs. Meanwhile it's not unusual for elites to demand loyalty of the plebs through nationalism, but not of themselves, 'leadership'?

EU is a good example of national leaders, especially central European, taking significant funding in net terms while publicly criticising or demonising the EU. Many of the same conservative leaders begged for entry to the EU (including personal financial opportunities) however, many in the mobile lower median age voter demographic were and are seen as not suitably loyal (obstacles to voting); in other words, leaders suffered relevance deprivation syndrome (when expecting unearned respect and authority).

If Australia was serious about loyalties, then surely those British on the electoral rolls from pre '83, should either take citizenship or have the privilege of voting removed? This would be a conundrum for many Australians who view Australia as a WASP redoubt?
