Im asking for an opinion. Isnt that the point of this site?

Right. But not that raising that amount was bad by any means.

There’s a similar political consensus for malapportionment here in BC. Even the parties that are hurt by it don’t want to be seen to be anti-rural.

I'd really like to see a study that look at district size (both geographic and population) and dif electoral systems. Would an at-large muni of 100k behave differently than a municipality of 1 mil divided into 10 wards? This comes close but isn't really there.
