    They can stay in their town if they don’t like it

    Literally no. By definition small towns don’t have a lot of things in them, and so the things they do have tend to be pretty basic. If you need specialist medicine, for example, you definitely will have to go to a major city. And that’s not even getting into the open countryside people, who exist in at least the less dense European countries.

    I mean, you can still hold the position they shouldn’t get a say, but not that they can totally opt out of whatever is decided.

      Well, if they want to come to the city they should leave their car outside and take public transit or a bike.

        If that’s a viable option, definitely, but it isn’t always and I can tell you public transport in Ireland is incomplete at best.
