I hate the Electoral College. It is one of the few stupid things in our constitution.

Small states love it. I'll bet not one member of Congress in the western states or New England would vote for it. CA, NY, and TX would love it. It was the compromise that allowed the formation of the United States--small states agreed to it because it balanced the awsome population power of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Its the same struggle for enfranchisement that the EU is facing. The smaller European states fear domination by Germany, France, and England. England fears French domination and France fears the Germans (duh)--though they all make public kissy-face.
So England negotiates with the second and third-tier states to offer a balance against Grano-German hegemony.
Iraq is just one issue for the political struggle in Europe.
