I don’t favour the abolishment of the Electoral College, but it must be reformed to assign electors proportional to the percentage of the popular vote within the state and to demand accountability from the electors in following through. Combine that with preference voting on the popular level and the U.S. would have a vastly improved system.
It won’t happen in our current political climate, of course, so we can look forward to elderly and rural people selling out the futures of the young and urban dwellers for at least another two decades.
True, but the demographic breakdown outside of Scotland reflected the split between rural and urban and also between old and young.
