Nothing becomes law unless it's ratified by both houses. It's actually a pretty brilliant system.
I'm just gonna take your word for it and bow out of this one. As far as I'm concerned, both our systems are flawed. Democracy has inherent flaws in it from the outset, not just when it comes to the equality of votes. However, democracy is also the least flawed system I'm aware of in operation today, so I can accept these flaws.

I wish wuf was here to talk about the EC. He wouldn't feed me shit.
