Isn't it what democracy is all about ? That the decision of the majority affects the minority.In the past rural areas were more populated than urban areas, but now towns are much more populated than rural areas.It's only fair than in a democracy where all individual interests are equally valid, everyone weights the same.It can't be fair to have some citizens voice more than others because of their location, race, or social situation or any other thing.
I find this highly discirmative and I fail to see how someone would support this, and I think the EC vote should be abolished at least for that. Can't see the strong points in that system really.
