Keep them out! Diaspora group wants non-Jamaican Commonwealth citizens barred from Parliament

Jamaica Gleaner News "The Jamaican diaspora group in Canada wants changes to the Constitution to bar Commonwealth citizens who are not Jamaicans from being eligible to sit in Parliament.

At the same time, representatives from the diaspora have argued against giving Jamaicans overseas voting rights to elect a government in Jamaica.

At present, the Constitution allows Commonwealth citizens who reside in Jamaica for a year to run for a seat in the nation's Parliament.
