Well Zan, it is in the process of changing to reflect the populations of member nations. It is called the Lisbon agreement. And it is the reason why turkey with 80 million will not get it.
And it is not as unfair as you protraty now, the European Parliament has seats allocated per population, it is seats in the Commission that go by nation, and the Veto is there for all countries, it is not the same as a vote.
Powerful things those vetos though....
Just one reason the so called "RoC" will need Greece...
Petition right and a Union closer to the citizen
With a minimum of one million signatures, the citizens of the EU will be able to petition the European Commission to propose new legislation. However, the Commission has no obligation to act on these requests.
