At least it is voted by the people no matter how imperfect it is. 1200 people is hardly a definition of "by people".

It's an electoral college system. By this logic, the US president is elected by only 538 "people".

AFAIK, those 538 people follow the decisions made earlier by the majority people.

Those 1200 definitely aren't.

Yes, the US system may not be perfect, but to put both on the same balance is such a misleading comparison.
