This chapter analyses the debates when the final decisions were to be made. There was significant remorse within the Right, having to give up a position of strength, but also a conflict between the Social Democratic Party and the left-wing socialists. There was also a hint of a future division between the Social Democrats and the Liberals. The parties differed in their views of age limits. For the Social Democrats and the Liberals, this was no longer a significant issue compared to the great successes they had now achieved. Still, both parties suggested that the higher age limit for the First Chamber and the county councils was not logical. The left-wing socialists shared that view. The Liberals, meanwhile, thought that the voting age of 23 was reasonable for the municipalities and the Second Chamber. The Social Democrats likewise defended the voting age for the Second Chamber and the municipalities, although they indicated a willingness to return to the issue. The age criterion was thus absolutely decisive for the form of the compromise, defining the character of the First Chamber and the Second Chamber and the relationship between the chambers. The threat to the First Chamber was averted by raising the voting age.
