R to @europarl_en: This approach helps to ensure political diversity and means that a broad range of perspectives are always taken into account at EU level 🇪🇺

R to @europarl_en: How does it work?

EU countries with larger populations agree to proportionally lower their representation in the Parliament for the benefit of less populous ones.

The rule of thumb is that no country can elect more than 96 representatives and none any fewer than six.
