The US also has 5 times as many people as France.
Europe can have snap elections, but we don't try and have elections for every European country at once, with two leaders trying desperately to visit each one to win support.
You can have 5 times more people counting votes and organizing things. I dont understand this excuse. Democracy can scale, especially nowadays with technology.
European Parliament elections were like a couple of months ago.
Fuck it. Elections will be a couple of months ago.
Wouldnt mind giving VOLT my ballet again :3
For reference
Not that European Parliament is going to just have new elections like that
They wouldn't need to visit each country, they don't even bother caring about more than 4 states in the US!
That presumes the EU would be dumb enough to try the electoral college on for size again
That's right we know where that shit came from you HRE and PLC descended fuckers!
Given the events of the last week, I can certainly see them being a bit more picky about lines of sight from nearby tall buildings.
Russia. Try to visit every city in four years.
