Abstract

This article discusses the representative function of the European Parliament and the concept of division of seats. The terms of rules are associated to the principle of digressive proportion- ality, and is associated with large differences in the population of the European Union coun- tries. Indeed, the concept of digressive proportionality entails serious practical problems. The European Parliament is a highly unequal parliament: large countries are underrepresented while small countries are overrepresented. The United Kingdom’s departure from the Euro- pean Union offers a political opportunity to reform the allocation of seats to member States.
