I'm wondering what it would be like to try and get ~7500 Representatives to vote on a bill...?

"Do we have a quorum?"

"No, only 2600 members showed up to vote on the measure. The rest are caught in traffic..."

Maybe Estonia can come over and help us set up their eGovernment system that works so well...

3,000 members in China's lower house.

We've been doing government-by-zoom for six months now. We can't pretend the shit doesn't work. By the way, if you sort that list by population-to-seat, the bottom of the list is China-Bangladesh-EU-US-India.
