NH close to becoming 19th state to abolish the death penalty

Totally unrelated:

NH has a House with 400 members ?

In a state with only 1 Mio. people ?

It has a wonderful ratio of 1/3300 (using single and multi-member seats, from 1 to 11).

The NH House has more members than a majority of sovereign countries:  http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legislatures_by_number_of_members

Each member is paid only $200 for the entire two-year session.

A model state in so many regards......

Imagine if this system was implemented at the federal level?

Only wealthy people could go in politics?
The State HoR is a part-time job, congressman isn't.

Make congressman work part time, force them to get jobs back home. The Swiss do it that way in fact.

The political power of USA and Switzerland isn't similar, through.
