Article says "To make government accountable to the people, we must make it more representative,..."
Then suggests " by uncapping the House of Representatives and rebalancing power."
I think it would be better to make peoples votes more powerful by ending gerrymandering, and first past the post voting. https://represent.us/
All paths that make the Federal Government more representative should be pursued but uncapping the HoR is far simpler and easier than ending gerrymandering and FPTP. In fact I'd say that uncapping the House is the first step towards the other two!
Easier? I read once how it could be done but don't remember.
