In the Netherlands every vote is counted equally. I don't know of any problems or complaints from our rural areas, but I don't live in them. Also every party represents their constituents proportionally. In the last election 10,56

In other countries (for example the Netherlands) YOU take the loan, not your house. To make sure the bank won't be left holding the bag, you use the house you're about to buy as collateral. In the occasion you stop paying, the ban

The way I see it (as someone who knows nothing about statistics), confidence would be the difference between 9/10 vs 900/1000. And/or how much effort you spend ramming a square peg in a round hole to have a prediction model.
