51st State
all right, let's get the obvious option (the one we're all thinking of) out of the way: the uk
serious suggestions: washington DC, guam
With statehood would come two new U.S. Senators and perhaps half a dozen new House members. In a closely divided nation, Puerto Rican statehood is clearly seen by Democrats as an insurance policy to protect their long-term control of Congress. this is really low, and I hope for the sake of Americans that it won't pass. ramming through constitutional reforms just in the hope of
getting more votes for your party
is a sure way to flush your country down the toilet. reforms such as this should have bipartisan consensus, otherwise the other party will push even more horrible "reforms" when the pendulum swings their way and they gain control. can you imagine texas as four states, each with 2 senators?
