Abstract: type="graphical" xml:id="gpol12223-abs-0002">

The centrality of parliament, or of the legislative power in general, was the key institutional way in which representation could be made to work democratically. Although never fully resolved in theory or in practice, the reconciliation of the interests of the parts (citizens, groups, factions) with that of the whole (community, public interest) was possible through the existence of a unitary moment of decision making. Can modern democratic representation do away with such a moment?
