The switch to At-Large seats shook the game up, and that was good. My suspicion is that, if done right, a switch back to districts would (eight years on) have the same effect. We've reached the point where we have six candidates for five seats with one of those six hardly being a serious candidate. That's not good. Now, pevious proposals for a return to district elections have had serious flaws, but this one looks more credible. If it doesnt work, we can always revert.

Additionally... I'm all up for abolishing the regional seats as well. They are (and always were) an example of egregious malapportionment. Additionally the classic reason for them (i.e. that they strengthen the Regions) has proven quite untrue. But that is a separate battle and I don't think we can realistically consider fighting it until the principle of districting returns.
