You lucky man. My and my children's only hope is Scottish independence, given my two Scottish parents. |  | | |

You see here's the thing.
You are allowed to say you like the original green passport but if anyone was to say they like the original blue British one they would be called all the names under the sun.
Weird innit?
Personally I could care less what colour it was. | |

The Irish & UK passports rank the same in that report, both 6th. |  | | |

But from a working/living/retirement point of view an Irish passport clearly trumps a British one because those with an Irish passport can work and live in, or retire to, the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland as well as the UK, but those with a British passport can do so only in the UK.
Andrew Bridgen would call that a Brexit bonus. [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 19:03]

Serious question - and I should know the answer but I don’t.
If I were to divorce my wife and marry an Irish women, would I get an Irish passport?
If then I divorced Irish women and remarried my wife would she then get an Irish passport?
If the answer to the above is yes then I think I have a cunning plan.
Edit - and would my children and grandchildren get Irish passports as well? [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 21:05]

Switzerland isn't in the EU, is that an agreement with the EU? |
Yes. Switzerland used to be very protectionist, back when I used to live there (the work permit system was very awkward). They were terrified of uncontrolled immigration. But in the did, they conceded in a few areas in order to reap the economic benefits of close links with the EU.
UK has become Switzerland of the 1980s, but without the underlying economic strength. | | | |
