The owl's take

The world leans towards abolishing borders without reaching an absolute majority: 50 % yes, 33 % no, 17 % with no opinion. The supportive camp lands exactly on half the vote.

The gender divide is the round's sharpest, and it is total: men vote yes unanimously, women mostly no. Voters with no declared gender split between support and hesitation.

Age sets two blocs against each other without nuance: the 45-54s fully endorse abolition, the 25-34s reject it just as fully. The 18-24s lean mostly in favour, with a notable share of hesitation.

The debate produced only two contributions, both from the supportive camp, and both in a philosophical rather than political register: borders are deemed pointless, the Earth belongs to everyone, we are ultimately one, so why separate ourselves artificially?

The second confines itself to an open question, what are borders for?, which never received an answer in the thread.

That is the round's whole imbalance: a third of voters opposes abolition, yet none of them came to say why. The arguments of security, sovereignty or regulation you would expect on this subject exist only in the ballot, not in the debate.
