Bigger Congress would help third parties

I agree that the U.S. House of Representatives is too small. MUCH too small. But, until reading this excellent NYT op-ed, I'd never thought of a bigger House helping third-party candidates.

But, it makes sense. If we have Representatives standing for 250,000 people instead of 750,000, a Green might get elected in San Francisco, a Libertarian in Orange County, etc. And, parties would probably have to work to maintain party discipline more.
