@simon_brooke There are really only 3 purposes for micro-constituencies:
1/ reduce travel in sparsely-populated areas
2/ #gerrymander
3/ system malfunction

Ireland has no type 1. Type 2 (#gerrymandered) have been common. But there are a lot of micros created by the intersection of the 5-seat upper limits, and don't-cross county boundaries princile. E.g. in 1997, 5-seat Kildare should have become a 6-seater, but instead was split into two 3-seaters

We all know it's Calvinball over at #SCOTUS based on which parties scare the cowardly fascist majority more. We all knew it was possible they'd allow the #Texas #gerrymander but not the #California one because reasons (the originalist case for fascism).

Clearly they are getting more scared of the people than they are of their billionaire paymasters. California can go ahead with their gerrymander.

For #Utahns, don't sign the petitions about boundaries unless you support the #Gerrymander. Yes, the #Utah #GOP is gathering signatures to get the new boundaries overturned on the next ballot, but they are going against the wishes of their own rural GOP voters as well as Salt Lakers.

Just as rural Utahns deserve at least one representative that prioritizes their needs and interests, so too do Salt Lakers. For too long, we've been grouped together to dilute both of our positions.

If you've signed a petition, you can go to your County clerk with a writen request to remove your name from the petition. The instructions are in this well-researched article. Thanks, @sltrib and @RobertGehrke
