Then again, once past childhood, VN will be his own person with his own experiences to draw upon. >Well, for the most part, politics are like religion-if your parent, >in your eyes, is a good one, most likely you'll take after them >in their beliefs.

This may be true for young children--but once a person gets old enough and has seen enough of the world to start making up their own minds about things, a parent is just one influence among many. And having a parent who supports a particular view is *not* necessarily a point in favor for supporting that view yourself. Adolescents can be rebellious young tikes. Especially one whose father is Vlad, and whose mother is Cawti... You also might want to consider the possibility that VN may not think Cawti is a very good parent. (Or will, once he grows up.)
