 In the future LiquidFeedback will be able to manage the weight of each pirate vote (it is going to be implemented this function for company shares), so the tokens of the chamber of representers can be directly shared among the pirates of each Country / Party member.

+===== Member Weights =====
+Member weights is the most delicate argument of PP-EU models.
+In Euroliquid it represents the number of tokens given to each member; that means, the number of representers (then votes) that each Country / Party member have in the decisional unit.
+the best way to assign weights is according to the **Square root of voters**.
+== Formula ==
+{{:squareroot.gif?100|}} **X** is the number of voters of each Country / Party.
+== Reasons ==
+  * It's easy! Only one parameter.
+  * No exceptions, no complicated rules to remember (even a blond can pretend to understand).
+  * Reaches the goal: balance representativeness of bigger members and give a voice to the smaller ones.
+  * Alredy used by EU for seats distribution of European Parliament ([[euroliquid:EU_seats|take a look here]])
+  * Has strong [[euroliquid:basis|theoretical basis]]
+== Confederations ==
+What happens when 2 or more confederates Pirate Parties of the same Country concur toghether?
+Easy, they split the total weight of their sum:
+  * W<sub>A</sub> = SQRT(A+B+C) * A / (A+B+C)
+  * W<sub>B</sub> = SQRT(A+B+C) * B / (A+B+C)
+  * W<sub>C</sub> = SQRT(A+B+C) * C / (A+B+C)
