In the UK, Conservative Shadow Education Minister @NeilDotObrien is in a huff over a proposal by the Migration Democracy Project to grant voting rights to 4.4 million illegal migrants. The idea is to extend residence-based voting rights regardless of birthplace, suggesting that everyone deserves a political stake. O'Brien calls the proposal "appalling," arguing it rewards those entering illegally and devalues British citizenship.
The debate highlights a bigger issue: who should have a say in the future of the UK? This proposal rattles many as it challenges traditional notions of citizenship and voting rights.
