The first being right on its face…the second related to their culture war fears. They believe that they’re being out-bred and replaced in their own country. What will giving additional parent controlled votes to the invaders accomplish….in their minds?
That’ll be tricky to accomplish. If it is agreed that children have votes that can be cast by proxy, then they can’t be denied other rights and obligations of citizenship, such as entering into contracts, marrying, and military service.
Can - open. Worms - everywhere.
