I beg to differ. You can't kick legislators out of safe districts they've drawn up for themselves to keep in them in office until they're forced out by term limits. That's where handing redistricting over to an independent commission will change things by maximizing political competitiveness. It will make politicians accountable to the voters instead of making the voters in the politicians' image. I can understand why the parties want to keep the status quo. Its been kind to them. But its not been so good to California.

It appears that the districts that may become "more competitive" will be those held by conservatives.

Despite all that, there are many reasons to oppose Prop 77. I posted many of them Here
