This is what passes for democracy in the EU.
The second or third largest contributor to the budget has 7% of the vote.

Look at how the votes are spread between the countries who give and those who take.





Check out the population of countries like Malta, Luxembourg etc and the votes they get. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._by_population

Which side holds the power?

Who will hold the balance as the EU enlarges?

Is the deciding country Luxembourg?
