    So basically, you can if you're parents were or are married, and no if they weren't married.

    Are you saying that I can get citizenship if my parents are married?

    Does it make much difference these days if you became a citizen or not? As in, would there be any advantages?

    If you're not from the British Isle and UKIP rise to power, I'd say it'd be worth it.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34
