Representation Per Legislator

theeconomist:

Daily chart: which countries have the largest number of people per legislator? Of the world’s 22 most populous countries, Britain has by far the most parliamentarians per head. Only China has more legislators in total, and India has just over half as many to cover 20 times the population.

With so many varied people to represent per legislator, and only so much time in a day, it’s no wonder corporations and lobbyists have figured out that money talks and have taken over the US Government. - liberalsarecool
