There's talk of increasing the blocksize - if this can be achieved - does this mean that the 21m btc limit can also be changed?

My understanding of the blocksize debate is that it would require 51% consensus to change the algorithm and accept the new blocksize.



If the algorithm can be changed like this - would the exact same mechanism allow miners to also change the limit of bitcoin?



Or is there something fundamental that prevents this?
