the only other one of note (tmk) is the UK, and that coalitioning is most likely due to how much more overall representation they actualy have.
last i looked it up, the UK has something like 150k or less pop/seat?
the US is nearing 1m/seat, with the senate thrown on top which by itself gives 2/3rds of national power to <1/3rd of the population. Canvassing to 1m people just isnt fiscally/time viable for the kind of people who would actually do more than just abuse their position for $/power.
it should be noted, the legislation passed capping House seats in the US was created specifically to hamstring growing progressive/anti-establishment voices in the cities, back in the 20’s.
every single time the US government has had a chance at reforming it’s broken government the powers that be have chosen instead to entrench themselves further…now there are entire states that arguably shouldn’t even have 1 House seat
