The American Left:

> The most obvious result of this scheme is that individual voters in small-population states tend to have more power in choosing the President than individual voters in high-population states, and that difference can skew an election.

The Indian Left:[1]

> enlarging the numbers of lawmakers in relation to population growth in a way penalizes those states that have achieved more in terms of slowing down their demographic growth

Completely inconsistent, self-serving arguments which basically want to change the electoral system because their side is losing.
