Freewheat and Riders. By comparison, the US has
435 Congressmen and 100 Senators serving a
population of about 313,000,000 meaning each
Congressman or woman represents around 750,000
people. And that's a quagmire. By contrast, Britain
has way over 600 members in the House of
Commons plus the House of Lords and Peers.
Whew!!
It was suggested that instead of adding more seats
to our House, redistribution could direct seats
according to population shifts. In my mind using
that formula - no one is ever under represented,
but is fairly represented. Government is already the
largest driver in our economy and at some point we
have to put a lid on this so some body is left to pay
the bills. Just my thoughts.
