When the sample size gets bigger, the natural choices become bigger,
For example its not that difficult to select say 1 or 3 leaders from population of 50,000 it is very much possible, but when that number increases hugely, the choices will differ and hence democracy becomes stressed.
India has a population of 1.25 billion, and we have 524 members of parliament, thus that makes it about 2.38 million people represented by a person, In very common sense, can this person even meet 10% of this number in face to face interaction and give them 5 minutes of his time?
5 years means 2.62 million minutes (without the rest etc) thus on an average the representative should have a minute of time for each member of his constituent, and if you add his resting time etc he would have 30 seconds an average time, in that case can he truly represent these people?
The present system is good for lower rung, like corporators etc, but for MLA and MP level there should be more states and more representatives so that the sample size should be smaller for better representation
