One argument against the Eurpean Union is that the individual has less representation precisely because the number of people an official represents is greater in the EU, than in a sovereign government. Just so.

I think one of the oddest outcomes of the current situation is the case were a state (I think six of them currently) has only one representative, but of course the usual two senators. This is the easiest case to visualize how the current situation will leave large segments of the population "unrepresented".

I have a better solution. Get the Federal Government out of health care, education, etc and let it stick to defense and interstate highways.

Then we'll all be well represented by our STATE legislators.
