Good Morning, Raph
Thank you for posting my letter.
I suspect we are seeing the process differently. In my view, candidates
can only stand for election in a single district and the only candidates
the electorate will consider are those seeking election from their
district: "I'm Honest Joe, and I'm seeking election from the July
3rd/July 8th district."
OK, we'll need a less cumbersome district naming convention, but that's
the idea.
I agree that, as you say, it is a 'pure majority system' but it is a
majority of 1/73rd of a diverse cross-section of an electorate of
4,000,000. In such an situation, there would be no 'safe' seats.
