Why should someone be able to vote for change in a place they don't live in? It's not a flaw, but a thoughtful and smart design from my perspective. Having that locality is what lets people with many different perspectives and ways of life to coexist in the same country. People who don't like one way of doing things can go elsewhere.

We are fortunate to live in an era where it doesn't matter, we can move somewhere else and be fine. But we could face a situation were the locals control important natural resources, and the locals may not want to share with those outside the boundaries. Then wars usually result.
