It is unacceptable that Norway, considered a world leader in society structure with equality, is even considering to block voting rights for non-Norwegian locals in svalbard. It's as though there's a new modern Hitler sitting at the head of the table and you are too scared to stop him (or her). This is pathetic and morally bankrupt.
'Foreigners' live in LYB too and fully accept Norwegian law and simultaneously benefit the community and have good ideas to make it better. Removing the vote/rights/seats is not a step forward in any perspective.
