Greens disaster: Another senator resigns over dual citizenship

Immigration and globalism is suddenly killing the Greens:

The Greens have lost their second co-deputy leader in less than a week, with Queensland senator Larissa Waters announcing her resignation as a result of holding dual citizenship.

At a press conference in Brisbane, an emotional Senator Waters apologised to the Australian people saying she had discovered she remains a dual citizen of Canada and Australia.

The move comes after former WA senator Scott Ludlam was forced to resign on Friday after realising he was still a New Zealand citizen.

The irony.
