Sure you can do this. In fact, one large democratic foreign country that believes people should be represented actually enforces it through a mandate that requires X% of representation for each X% of political faction. This is very different than the USA, which gives lip service to representing the people.

One of the reasons why you see the USA seesaw i.e. going in one direction then after an election it goes 180 degrees in the opposite direction, is because the population is not properly represented. This never happens in this one foreign country that requires representation because each faction of the populous is represented, thus no one faction has the majority so they all are forced to work with eachother, rather than seesawing from one extreme to another.

In the USA, 50% of the people (women) are not represented. This needs to change. I think it would be worthwhile if the USA split into two, in order to implement a new system where both genders are actually represented. Those that like the old system, can stay with it.
