Should foreigners, currently residing in New Zealand, have the right to vote?
In most countries, suffrage, the right to vote, is generally limited to citizens of the country. Some countries, however, extend limited voting rights to resident non-citizens.

I've lived here since I was two years old and I am in my 50s and some people think my right to vote should suddenly be taken away because of a wave of extreme right nationalism or something.
