Well, fuck this. It seems that politicians are trying their best to validate conspiracy theorists.

    @Frederick Short question: You know the amount of votes is not proportional? While smaller countries (measured by the size of the population) have less seats than bigger countries, they have more votes per citizen than larger countries.

    @Frederick What would be the alternative?

    Currently for a European law to pass, it (usually) has to:
    - Be initiated by the Commission with 1 member / country
    - passed by the parliament with non proportional members
    - accepted by the Council of the European Union (with again one member per country)

    @Frederick if there would be for example 1 seat per country, one seat would have more people behind it than others.

    If they try this in earnest, it will suffer the same fate as the data retention law: it will be churned through the courts for several years, then shot down by the CJEU. Not to speak of any local implementation in Germany, which is likely to get shot down by the BVerfG, and I imagine it would be similar in Austria.

    A common strain between the *highly* uninformed and the *highly* informed is asking of any event: cui bono?

    The only difference is the uninformed ask "WHICH of the lizard people factions benefit"

    while the highly informed ask "what stock or , option or other asset do I buy or sell to benefit from this?"

    @Wisecrack I don't care about assets when some government fucker could request my data from services in the name of fighting terrorism, without the service provider's knowledge even.
