If you’re right that they represent rather than govern, then you might throw in an argument for proportional representation.

Your work is usually excellent and much appreciated. I’m just not persuaded that parliaments are or should be elected to represent rather than govern; or that the people will be better served by their government or see their government improved by having more parliamentarians.

What would improve government is real consequences for elected representatives who can be evidenced to have lied to or actively mislead their constituency.
