I see NOTHING in what you have said with which I would disagree. But I seem unable to communicate what I believe to be a stone cold fact regarding the power of money vis a vis consbreastuency size. The enlargement of the number of representatives does not have as its true objective any effect on the electoral college, nor is it a mechanism to create 435 "unincubented" districts. Though these are, in my opinion, beneficial side effects, the primary objective is to reduce the number of voters in each district so as to make the cost of running for office much less than the current cost. It simply takes far less money to make ones self known to 300K people than it does to make ones self known to 600K people. It would be even better to quadruple the membership leaving a consbreastuency size of 150k people but that is a House of 1700 members and people simply are not ready for such a thing, The objective of this movement is to reduce the COST of candidacy thus removing the control of big money.
