That's an observation, not an argument. Once, 'voter' referred to property-owning men. Now it refers to all adults. Observation.

The observation is coupled with slippery-slope arg. i.e. if we expand marriage to include SSM, what prevents it from including polygamy?

Butting in here Polygamy means some wives are on welfare for a time. Islam is demanding it in Europe for 4 wives and x children

I wish I could find the article from UK where a Muslim man received £36000 per month for 4 wives and 10? Children

I'll take your word for it in the meantime but I think this is a different, practical issue to the issue of whether polygamy is ethical.
