Political analyst and UVA professor Larry Sabato argues for real Congressional reform: more than doubling the size of the House of Representatives:
Increasing the size of the House of Representatives from 435 to 1,000 seems nearly unthinkable — a change too large to ever be accomplished. Nevertheless, it would achieve many top goals identified by would-be reformers. It would reduce the influence of special interests by making it harder to ‘buy’ a majority. It would force Representatives to pay more attention to constituents, by making each constituent vote more important. It would make many races far more competitive, since incumbents would be unable to raise as much as they did before, and since it would cost less to wage a competitive campaign.
