More important: Direct Representation with optional Proxy (aka Representatives)

There's no reason the 60% should have thier will ignored just because thier votes are split between two or three parties and the remaining major party ekes out an extra 5-10% of the population than the next highest voted candidate (see canada for exactly this happening).

Each person should also be able to have thier will about a bill included in the voting at any time instead of having to hope whoever you voted to rep you actually does what they said let alone what you want.

That's way more important than the issue of districts (though that is an issue needing addressing its just not remotely as impactful in both the short and long term).
