I think we need a constitutional amendment to do away with districts entirely. The federal government's job is to govern the whole country, so why should representation be based on geography? Let everyone vote for whoever they want, and the top 435 vote getters are elected and get a weighted vote based on how many people voted for them.

A parliamentary system! That's my favored solution too.

Also, I recognize your username. Do you know who I am?
