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.
I get your point and agree with it, but also I just did head math to see what our legislature would look like if we kept it proportional to the British numbers and whoa.
Ah, gotcha. It would be really interesting to see how districts would work with these kinds of numbers... Ohio is badly gerrymandered; I wonder if many small districts would make it tougher to rig the system.
