How I Teach Gerrymandering

your conundrum is that you have a distinctly minority opinion, but you would like to influence the outcome "more than your share"? so, instead of advocating unequal income distribution, you favor unequal outcome?

Erm, no, not in the slightest – well, I think not in the slightest – I'm going to be totally honest, I don't really understand all of your comment.

But I don't want to influence the outcome "more than my share". I'd like everyone to have an equal share of influence. More than anything I'd like the political process to be one that everyone is engaged in and ultimately moves the country in a direction that is good for everyone.

Not necessarily. This is a bit of an issue now in Canada because with have 3 (or more) left-wing parties, and 1 right wing party

This has led to a lot of ABC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anything_But_Conservative) voting.
