Akin to gerrymandering, but not quite the same

Monaco, San Marino, and Liechtenstein with a population of around 100,000 (all combined) have the same voting power as Germany, France, and the UK combined (Germany, France, and the UK have over 215 million citizens)
Summary: Germany, France, and the UK have only one vote; in some ‘microstates’ each constituent/citizen has over 2,200 times more in terms of voting power compared to Germany (Monaco’s population: 37,308; Liechtenstein’s population: 37,313) or 2,500 times more in terms of voting power compared to Germany (San Marino’s population: 32,742) and it’s a recipe for administrative disaster, which Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos have been more than happy to exploit as EPO chiefs
