A more sensible plan, nationally, would probably be to expand the number of House representatives, which I understand is constitutionally permissible. One thing this would do, among others, would be to dilute the clout of the CBC.
“A more sensible plan, nationally, would probably be to expand the number of House representatives, which I understand is constitutionally permissible.”
Expansion of the House was supposed to occur each census. Expansion should have never stopped. When one person represents something like 50,000 people, you are going to have a far more accurate representation of the population.
Yeah ... I’m sick ... I’d be thrilled to see around 6,000 reps in the House ... nothing would get done @ the Federal level :-). More importantly, good luck corrupting that many people, best of luck maintaining a two party stranglehold in the House, and blessed are those that would want to stay in that madhouse for more than a couple of terms :-).
This nonsense where 1 person is representing ~ 715,000 people is part of the reason we’re in a fine mess :-).
