Not a bad idea at all, provided we avoid Texas's mistake.  If we get
two senators for each of Scotland, Norn Iron, Wales and England, plus
our fair share of congressthings, we end up with the biggest voting
block in the US legislature and for the presidency, with a political
spectrum whose extreme right can't poke the extreme left of the
current US one with a long, long stick.  One sudden lurch to the left
by the US political establishment later, we own the place.
Byzantium, anyone?
