What your suggesting doesn't work!
The way it is supposed to work is that the candidate elected is supposed to represent the views of the entire constituency as best as possible. Not just that of those who elected him/her.
What you're proposing doesn't work when you have a single seat up for consideration. What you're proposing would require all the seats are redistributed based on the percentages of votes, and that is just simply utter chaos!
The House of Representatives in most states and on the Federal level barely works as it is because of the two year terms of congress members. Most members of congress actually work a year, then campaign another year for re-election. If they're lucky, they get to repeat the cycle. One year of campaigning is bad enough of an interruption in government, what you're prosing would throw the government into utter chaos.
I'm sorry, but if your ideas or beliefs aren't good enough to convince at least 51% of the people in a constituency to vote for you, then you don't get to represent a portion of your constituency. It's really easy for one nutjub to convince a whole load of people that what they believe is the best way to do things. It doesn't make them right, it doesn't mean we should give them representation.
I would love to understand, how you think it would even remotely be possible to have representation based on a percentage of voters when there is only one seat to vote for. It's impossible. And implying that we should create seats or worse completely re-align the entire state or country based on a small percentage of representation is just asinine.
