What a stupid fucking electoral system. Least actually-democratic system in the western world by far.

It was a system never intended to be a Democracy.

It was designed to balance the needs of a bunch of oligarchical states so they could act as a cohesive unit. They are the bourgeoisie version of the HRE or Greek City states. Instead of the nobility, it was white, wealthy, landowners.
