There is no „as it should be“ in voting systems. The exact same system can be a good fit for one situation/country/institution and be a catastrophe for another. You are annoyed by Dutch politics, not European politics, so kindly sort out your personal Problem but don’t try to speak for the rest of us in these pointless and non factual sweeping terms.
There definitely is a way it should be, and like I mentioned, in some situations it should be different.
Not sure why you seem to think how I am annoyed by Dutch but not European politics, or how I am speaking for "the rest of you". Have you agreed to that with that rest? For the record, I am not annoyed by but rather disgusted with the actual political and governmental systems and practices. And I am very much not alone in this, second largest party in our recent elections is built on this very topic. So are many throughout Europe. Mostly framed as "right wing" which is exactly what people are tired of, me included.
The ones who seem to be speaking for others are the politicians with a feeble mandate :)
