re: "Mr. Gohlke, do you care to look at this?"

OK.  Absent a specific definition of the group of voters to which you've 
assigned a ratio of 'p', 'p' can be taken to represent any group of 
people who have an identifiable political orientation, and 'x' is the 
balance of the electorate.  Therefore, as you say, "With many layers, as 
is necessary for this system to represent a large population the 
proportion of p rapidly approaches zero ...", which shows that 
ideologues ... of any stripe ... will be eliminated, leaving the 
non-ideological majority of the people to select the best among 
themselves as their representatives.

That is the purpose of the process.
