I see. Without knowing the country and going off what you said, it seems to function well under that situation. 

IMO, America needs something that more directly affects the popular vote.

It's a lot to type, so I've used AI to help accurately convey in detail some of my big issues with the electoral college in America.

1. Unequal Representation: The Electoral College system gives disproportionate weight to smaller states. For example, smaller states like Wyoming have more electoral votes per capita compared to larger states like California, meaning a vote in Wyoming carries more weight than a vote in California.

2. Swing State Focus: Presidential campaigns tend to focus on "swing states" where the outcome is uncertain, often neglecting states that are solidly Democratic or Republican. This leads to a situation where the political power of voters in swing states is significantly higher than those in non-swing states.

3. Potential for Minority Rule: There have been instances where a candidate wins the presidency without winning the popular vote, as seen in the 2000 and 2016 elections. This raises questions about the democratic legitimacy of the elected president.

4. Vote Disparities: The number of votes required to elect an elector varies widely from state to state. For instance, in 2016, it took approximately 324,829 voters in Florida to elect one elector, but fewer voters in other states to achieve the same result, highlighting a discrepancy in voter influence.

5. Disenfranchisement: The Electoral College can strip eligible voters of their political power and voice, particularly those in states that are not competitive in presidential elections.
