Opinion of this redistricting proposal?

This proposal would also, necessarily, reduce the number of regional Senators by two, bringing the total membership of the chamber to eight.

Lets see, 3 Regional Senate seats, 5 At-Large. Nope, no imbalance against the regions there.

Removing the At-Large would create a firestorm of opposition from it's irreconcilable backers.

We could do two senate seats from each regional. With five at large we would then have 11 senators.

Six Regional Senate seats and 5 At-Large seats creates an imbalance in the opposite direction. The whole idea is to keep them even, so their interests are balanced.

Hmm this thread has certainly gotten more response when I basically proposed the same thing a month or two ago.

You're from Washinton you see...


Actually your thread got more "responses" but most of that was a debate spinning off into oblivion rather than looking for solutions to concerns raised.
