Is that fair? Ireland should surely have a say the same way Germany does in parliament too, if it's affecting Ireland just as much. If one considers countries as units.
Is it fair that California has more congresspeople than North Dakota?
Parliament is the unit which represent the people
Council (which is 1 country 1 vote) is what represents the countries.
That's the whole idea, the parliament doesn't.
The Council is the representation of the countries. The Parliament of the people.
