Not totally sure but, as I understand it, Eastern Europeans registered to vote in the UK helped determine the British members of the European Parliament by proportional representation for the UK only. Assuming there are negligible numbers of Brits in Eastern Europe, their own seats were negligibly affected by British interests. Also smaller states get proportionately more seats and the number of seats is not regularly adjusted to population.
In other words some EU citizens get to significantly affect the representation of other countries they migrate to without affecting that of their own one iota. Not much of a real democracy is it? Except for those who have already dismissed national interests as unimportant.
