Are you suggesting that it should be a single 435-member-district? If
so, I would worry that it would reduce emphasis on local
party-building and campaigning, and increase fragmentation.
Fragmentation is a threat to stability/predictability especially in
systems that rely on parliamentary majorities to form the government
(see months of negotiations in the Netherlands to form a complex
coalition between ~4 parties), though it might be less damaging in the
context of the US presidential system.
