IF Democrats can gain control of both houses and win back the presidency, they need to use that power to make some sweeping, dramatic changes that will reduce the power of evil hucksters in the American system. In particular, a dramatic expansion of the House of Representatives, to something like 2000 members, is necessary to dilute the population imbalance in the electoral college. This is possible and would create a level of representation that is the norm in other democratic countries. For example, the British House of Commons has 650 members for a population of 60 million. A similar ratio in the US house would result in more than 3000 members. Such an expansion would have many other benefits as well. Constituent accessibility would be the norm. Representatives would be much more focused on a smaller area of responsibility. GOP gerrymandering would become much more difficult, if not impossible.
