What is so “bad” about districts, both senate and assembly?
Just about everything! These districts cross county lines and group people together solely because they happen to vote one way or another. That is, the districts were drawn so that the party in power will remain in power. We’d be far better off having a government based on “communities of similar interests”. Just imagine the mess we would have if the Federal House of Representatives’ districts were allowed to cross state lines. In the same way, we should limit our state government representatives to county lines. That way the people they represent will have “similar interests”, namely the well being of their county! Further, those same people will be able to hold their representatives accountable for policies that fail to meet the needs of their county. Today, it’s impossible to hold anyone accountable for anything!
