gollark: It seems that you explicitly suggested it was good because it gave more power to rural people than they would otherwise get based on population.
gollark: According to my badness determination metrics.
gollark: What I am saying is that deliberately designing an electoral system and then messing with it so that a particular group consistently gets outsized amounts of power is bad, and that it isn't particularly justified based on "cultural differences" because there are lots of culturally different groups.
gollark: There are cultural differences based on different factors, though.
gollark: There are divisions other than rural/city. Why pick that one and muck with the system to favour one side of it?
