There is no uniform voting system for the election of [Members of the European Parliament]; rather, each member state is free to choose its own system, subject to certain restrictions:

The system must be a form of proportional representation, under either the party list or the single transferable vote system.

I live in the UK. And I always like to say the the US took all the really shitty bits of being British and amplified them. Brits are almost exactly halfway between being American and Canadian. Generally nice and polite, also really stubborn and resistant to change for the better, often very willing to believe a con-artist and cut off their nose to spite their face.
I love living here, and probably won't move back, but fuck me....some times.... smfh
