Bruti79says...Oh man, after the recent "Fair Elections Act" in Canada, this all changed. Gerrymandering at it's worst. =(
**Note: It's not a fair elections act.
newtboysays...That's a nice, simple explanation of the problem with one key point omitted. In America, the politicians are also the one's in charge of writing or re-writing the law...you know, the same one's that are doing the gerrymandering. That makes it not only improbable, but near impossible to get more than 1/2 of them to vote against their own interest (even if it is in the best interest of their constituents). So far as I know, there's no way to introduce a federal ballot initiative (like we have here in California, you just need enough signatures and boom, you're on the ballot). It sure would be nice though.
