Continuously redistricting is ridiculous. Constantly changing the government gives people the impression that the government is unstable. Further, it gives people more of an impression that they could change the government if they'd like to. We should only have to do the districting once, and no more.

If you want an even consensus, don't do the 1-senator per district thing. Do it one senator for every six people. So California would get one, District 1 would get like 3, et cetera. That's a good way to represent.

Or we can do it the European parliamentary way- that is, if a party gets at least three votes, they can have representation regardless of which party won the election. Since the Atlasian nation has such a small population, this may be the best. The United States is a large nation. Look at how smaller nations are run, like Andorra.



I'm beginning to agree with you.  Some of the redistricting plans are downright insane and I don't think it's a good or useful thing to have the districts be completely redrawn every four months.  It's confusing, irritating, etc.

Perhaps it is time institute proportional representation among the districts and leave the boundaries alone.
