In that case can we do the same for the Canterbury Regional Council elections? Or all of the God knows how many hundreds of electoral districts in India? Each of those elections is just as significant to the local residents as the state of California is to Californians, and just as insignificant to the rest of the world.
I'd say there is a difference between the local level ("Canterbury Regional Council", "Indian electoral districts", "Orange County School Board") and the sub-national state level ("England", "States of India", "California"). These difference is especially visible in the significance to the rest of the world. __ . / / / / ...
