Those of us who fall between those two stools would be paying the very poor to have loads of children & more political power as well.AKMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-54291193240267049672011-02-25T00:58:08.000+00:002011-02-25T00:58:08.000+00:00Thank you Clarence.

As things stand in Britain, is it always the people who have the greatest stake in the country who have the largest number of children? Still, the notion of multiple votes for various reasons is an interesting one.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-70330486717312360822011-02-24T19:43:21.000+00:002011-02-24T19:43:21.000+00:00Off topic I'm afraid.

Not that it makes much difference in the long term, as Mark Steyn would undoubtedly point out.AKMnoreply@blogger.com
