Should parents get one extra vote per child?

Just because the kids aren’t old
enough to vote, their interests should still be accounted for right?

Considering that many adults don't vote the same way as their parents, I don't think this makes sense.

This would also be tough for kids who aren't voting age but have political opinions that differ from their parents. Imagine being disenfranchised but knowing you're giving more power to someone you disagree with.

This is a really good point I hadn’t considered 

I differed with one parent in high school and agreed with another

That has totally swapped now

Interesting. The main objections seem to be that children disagree with parents on politics (@typeof.eth) and that the incentives are bad for child bearing (@qt)

One solution to this is: parents get 1 extra vote if they have children. The extra vote isn't tied to a specific child, and it solves the bad incentive

A modification here:

The extra vote could even kick in only when you have two children

Be specific.

But here your problem isn't with Graham's idea, but with the voting age

Either 17 year olds can have legitimate political views, in which case they should be allowed to vote; or they don't

It would still be tough for kids but I don't think it makes Graham's idea a non-starter
