Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million.
Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.
One seat should represent whatever number represents the smallest state population. That would be Wyoming iirc, so each representative should represent like 580k people.
In the first United States Congress, one Congressman represented about 57,000 people.
That seems like a good starting point. I think our government would actually be more functional with 5800 Congresspersons in the House.
