    For an united states sort of setup having one level of government representing the states particularly makes sense to me. EU has a similar setup (but much more complicated) and a suggestion that it’d just be based on popular vote would cause a civil war.

      The EU has a representative setup, which is democratic. Comparing it to the US Senate, which is designed to rob people of representation, is grossly incorrect.

      Again, governments justify their existence by serving people, full stop, not arbitrary land masses. What’s next, a tertiary chamber of Congress for corporations?
