I am sure you are well aware that 500 million people in the EU have roughly the same views on representative democracy as I have (the UK is the exception). Again, it's a subjective topic. I think I am right and I have explained why. I am not going to write an essay about it - it's simple enough to understand the benefits of letting the smaller parties be better represented. Anyone is entitled to agree with me, or disagree, as they please.

The EU for that matter, is set up in exactly the same way, letting smaller countries like Luxembourg, Cyprus and the Baltic states have a larger number of representatives than what they should have is strict statistics were applied. This is because nobody in the smaller countries wants to live in a union run by Germany France and the UK who would otherwise run the show. Everyone including Germany agrees that this is fairer despite the fact that it doesn't necessarily fit their agenda.
