[quote="TGB!":f9d58]If we had that system Ninty - then East and West Coast states would rule this country at the detriment of the rest of the country.

That system works in Britian and France where you dont have states so much and a more solid national identity - not here.

The nationalism in this country is so far below that of others.[/quote:f9d58]

but thats where the population lives.

it's the same in canada. 1/3 of the population is in ontario and quebec. we still have seats kind of like electoral votes, and don't go by popular vote.

I know you need electoral votes or seats to represent each part of the country, but it should equal out exactly, so the number of seats you get is proportional to the popular vote. It doesn't really work, but i'm sure theres some way to do it.
