In Europe, the countries i know of at least, count each vote equally.

What i meant was that it doesn’t mean it’s a perfect system if your goal is democracy.

Other factors can totally break the purpose of counting votes equally altogether and end up with a unsatisfying result. And my exemple is as such.

(I live in France, we have equally counted vote but with this issue, and some other neighboring countries have it too. If you’re interested i can explain more what the issue is…)

(I guess Australia, for the user you were replying to originally, have it’s own issues too, not that i’m familiar with them.)

Mathematicians worked on how different suffrage creates different results.

There are plenty like the majority judgement but one that i particularly like is Condorcet’s method to solve the problem.
