UK Conservatives propose doubling residency time for citizenship and adding stricter conditions.

The UK Conservative Party, led by Kemi Badenoch, plans to make it harder for immigrants to gain citizenship. They propose extending the residency period for indefinite leave to remain from five to ten years, followed by a five-year wait for citizenship. Applicants must prove they haven't claimed benefits, have no criminal record, and contribute positively to the economy. The party aims to tighten immigration rules and introduce stricter conditions for citizenship, as Parliament debates new immigration legislation.
