@EU_Commission 64% means 34% will most likely be alienated.
We need a voting system that fosters everybody's opinion, even of those that do not find anyone worth their vote. Not voting should be counted as a negative vote for everybody.
1st-pass-the-post is failing us, we need something better and most of all stop considering low percentage a win.
@EU_Commission could not find how many of the 26,189 targeted individuals actually responded. I’m curious as I suspect a bias that causes only people that are already engaged to respond.
@EU_Commission listen up #American #youth don’t let Europe beat you! Register and vote this year!
