I love both countries. One I’m in primarily for work. I’ll never give up the citizenship of my birth country, visit at least twice a year, and will return there to retire.
So while I do love my work country, and am raising my son here, we can never participate in the national electoral process, even though we’ll be here for 20+ years.
It’s about empowering workers. We have the freedom to live and work across the EU. They will happily tax me based on residence, but I’m not represented at the national level, which does affect me as long as I live here.

It’s not a balanced system for the populace.
