If you had accused Swedish politicians of wanting a 2nd class citizenship scheme for immigrants just a few years ago, they would have all but sued you for libel. Now almost everybody is for.

Because the proposal requires a change to the Constitution, it won't take effect until there's a second vote with an intervening parliamentary election.

This will probably also happen in Iceland within the span of the next 3 years (before the next election). No one will vote against it because there are no longer any left wing parties in the Icelandic parliament. (Samfylkingin/The social democrats is IMO a center party now)

Sort of already is like that, just haven’t been any bills proposed to allow for it. Won’t need a constitutional change imo (regarding double citizenship).
