The German court’s rationale was that the European Parliament election is not a true election, because the principle of “one person, one vote” is not respected. This is not only a problem from the standpoint of democratic principles; the results of the recent election have shown the extent to which it can influence political outcomes.
德国法院的理由是欧洲议会选举不是真正的选举，因为“一人一票”的原则没有受到尊重。这不仅是民主原则的问题；最近的选举结果表明它可以极大地影响整治结果。容克能够在欧洲议会算术中脱颖而出的原因只有一个：他在小国赢得了选票，而选票实际上是按国家规模加权的。
