representationThe notion of representation is a complex one but at its core is
the idea that one thing can stand for another.
Parliamentary
democracy
is based on the premise
that an elected
assembly
can represent the interests
of the political community as a whole.
Electoral laws are components of this system of
representation. What is to be represented and how the
representation is to be accomplished are key questions for the
design of an electoral system for a parliamentary assembly.
