Actually no. Of course you already figured out that what you write does not
make any sense. But just in case:

The ability of a briber to influence the outcome by corruption decrease with
the number of representatives. There is a certain threshold the briber must
pay for a politician to take the risk and be corrupted. This is a personal
level. To influence the outcome you must bribe a certain percent of
constituency. If the constituency is very large, you have to spend huge
amounts of money for that, and it may not be worth. If the constituency is
small you can bribe a few and get what you want.

The problem I have with large constituency is the efficiency. I just can not
imagine how a 60,000 representatives, crowding Capitol like ants, will
actually get anything done :-)
