I like alcaray's idea

Tom Brosz — 8/26/2003 11:17:43 PM (archived)

There's got to be a mathematical way to do this that simply collects population groups by locality. You really want to keep the idea of a representative that is working for a specific town or location.

I would not like to see "business" elect anyone to government at all. There is enough "mixed economy" corruption as it is.
