This sounds very weak. It's like saying "Ideas that makes sense to the lower class don't always make sense to the top 1% net-worth people. For example taxing the rich more. For the top 1% net-worth individuals, _everyone_ meets the criteria and therefore they are unfairly taxed".

How you cluster people is irrelevant for a policy to be fair or not. It's petty to chose what gives you an advantage. You should stick to a set of values and agree on policies that better express those values.

So what you're saying is that the opinions of rural people regarding uniquely rural problems don't matter in the context of the nation as a whole.

That is not at all what I am saying (or anyone else afaik).

Understanding and protecting minorities is one of the core values that need to shapes policies.

You can't solve the minority problem by giving them more votes, because you can't give it to all minorities. Everyone is part of somekind of minority.

Today rural people are a minory who has a privilege compared to others.
