yep...at some point in the future, but for now, as I stated earlier, 435 works for me.
And I dont think most Americans will ever support a House composed of 3,000+ members as is your goal.

Do you foresee a much larger House, with a multi-party system, where one or two small parties can subvert the will of the majority by alligning together or creating coalitions around single issues? If that were to occur, is that a good thing?
Many here support a multi-party legislature. I am one of those who doesnt. I dont want small, extremists or single issue parties being in the bargaining position of deciding legislative outcomes.
