    It’s not inherent to representative democracy but let’s be honest most systems we use have flaws like that, including Europe.

    (An exemple in Europe would be choosing only one individual to vote. Which divide voters of two close candidates and lower both of their score.)

    And that’s probably why we feel like most representatives democracy can’t escape some of thoses problems.

    Mathematically though there is some systems that have been proven to not have those same flaws.

    Problem is, of course how hard it is to fix a system that can only be changed by the people that it favors.

      No, that’s not an example of votes not counting equally…? Am I misunderstanding your example?

      You don’t need some mathematical proof to just count all the votes and see which candidate got more votes. It’s how most elections throughout the world work.
