Talk:Malapportionment

The US Senate is not a good example to use for malapportionment because the Senate is not intended to represent population, it is intended to represent states. The whole point of the Senate was to give more legislative power to the smaller states. See my discussion of this at Australian electoral system Adam 05:40, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

"In contrast, majoritarian electoral systems invite both malapportionment and gerry-mandering because they require the drawing of borders for a large number of single member constituencies." - this is POV rubbish. Not all majoritarian systems have single member constitencies, and many systems with constituencies are not majoritarian (e.g., the British/American plurality system). The article should concentrate on this misfeature of constituency-based electoral systems, not import the author's prejudices about particular examples of these systems.
