YouTube master
I mentioned before the rather nifty videos by C.G.P. Grey explaining the UK, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Great Britain and How Many Countries Are There?. The guy continues to produce little videos that might be helpful.His video on the EU seems to concentrate on details and ignore generalizations (which I don't think is terribly helpful), but it sets the stage for some good discussion or writing.
His videos on voting are, IMHO, overly complex, but they do explain some alternatives to first past the post. However, I could not find an explanation of the simple proportional system used in the EU and other European countries.
Take a look. Use what seems helpful. Ignore the rest.
