    Just because an island has a smaller population doesn’t make it any more or less predisposed to egalitarianism, nor do large populations have to be predisposed to authoritarianism.

        “It’s a much smaller population” literally your second sentence, or do you not comprehend your own writing? Why is their smaller population relevant?

          I should have been more clear. I never said the words “egalitarianism” or “authoritarianism”.

          That would be those “either” of the things I was referring to me having not said.

          Smaller population simply means each person’s vote counts for more. Easier for small groups to have an effect when they only need to reach a smaller number of potential voters.

          EDIT: spelling
