Title
A power-weighted variant of the EU27 Cambridge Compromise.
Abstract
The Cambridge Compromise composition of the European Parliament allocates five base seats to each Member State’s citizenry, and apportions the remaining seats proportionately to population figures using the divisor method with rounding upwards and observing a 96 seat capping. The power-weighted variant avoids the capping step, proceeding instead by a non-linear downweighting of the population figures until the largest State is allocated exactly 96 seats. The pertinent calculations of the variant are described, and its relative constitutional merits are discussed.
