If you gerrymander all districts to be 100% one party each, you turn the first-past-the-post system into a proportional representative one

lain - https://lain.com/users/lain It is an interesting thought, but for what it's worth gerrymandering IRL isn't just about packing, it's about packing the opposing districts and cracking your own. You want each of your districts to be 60% your party (or 54% if your area is sufficiently inelastic like my state), and when you run out of your voters you make remaining districts 100% opposing party.
