Reply to comment by Anthro_DragonFerrite in TIL the New Zealand Prime Minister, Rob Muldoon, once called a snap election while extremely drunk. His party lost 10 seats. by EucalyptusBrain
How could Australia have an American prime minister?
Even if you didn’t know, now you do know that Australians who hold dual citizenship are automatically disqualified from being elected into any federal seat in parliament.

That’s only a recent thing. Australian politics used to be dominated by British ex pats. And Chinese people

Not that recent. Only the huge fight over it was recent.
Also ex pats are allowed, you don't need to be born here you just can't be duel citizen.

How can you be this wrong? If you’ve lived in Australia your whole life this comment should embarrass you. Know your nation.

That’s kind of worse, considering McDonalds is a franchise and has stores everywhere.
