Many countries (and even some of your states!) have independent commissions for drawing riding boundaries. Just don’t get suckered into a bipartisan commission instead.

I'm not convinced of the existence of the 'independent voter' either. In the US, it's simply another reflection of our "don't tell me what to do" culture, (controlled by advertising,) and a general political laziness. Like I suggest, the expected results can be modeled, therefore 'fair.'

For a fairness effort to succeed, voters would need to choose between two parties. And in "don't tell me what to do" America it will never happen

The only political parties I really see, are those supporting two party systems vs those supporting one party systems. Third parties have more meaning in a parliamentary two-party system, but the coalitions are the real power.

They don't even matter much in parliament systems either. See UK - France. Left parties who want to get things done balloon into multiple parties who don't work together very often, where as conservative parties are far smaller in number and do work together. More parties are a hard sell.

I can see that. Canadian parliament is slowly coalescing into Liberal and Conservative. It's the nature of power.
