Agreed. Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen any constructive 
suggestions from that direction.

And why does the "United States of Europe" have 27 votes and the USA 
only one? You couldn't find more different political objectives between

Elsewhere, why does Monaco with 36k population get the same vote as 
China with 1.3 billion?
