The US also has 5 times as many people as France.

Europe can have snap elections, but we don't try and have elections for every European country at once, with two leaders trying desperately to visit each one to win support.

You can have 5 times more people counting votes and organizing things. I dont understand this excuse. Democracy can scale, especially nowadays with technology.

For reference

EU population (2023) 448,922,216

US population (2023) 339,996,563

Not that European Parliament is going to just have new elections like that

They wouldn't need to visit each country, they don't even bother caring about more than 4 states in the US!

Given the events of the last week, I can certainly see them being a bit more picky about lines of sight from nearby tall buildings.
