Is America's aversion to legislators simply an outgrowth of the American individualistic ideology?

What is the theory behind the cube root thing?  I am just curious. That is about 330 districts in California by the way. Do we really want that many nebbishes and losers prowling around Sacramento getting into trouble at taxpayer expense?  It is bad enough just having 40 and 80 clowns (and most of them are clowns) up there for the respective chambers.

Yeah, it seems like 120 is far too much, though California really has one of the smallest legislatures per capita in the developed world.

This method gives France 402 Deputies and Canada 323 MPs. Not bad.

Not bad ? Huh 402 deputies would be awful...

Though for USA, it would give 672 reps, which would still be a progress.

Why would it be awful?

The Italian electoral system is terrible.

- A party can gte a majority of votes and a minority of seats. There are numerous examples in the history.

This always happens under the Italian system. It happens every single time.
