Having someone speak or act on behalf of people's views and interests in decision-making, such as an elected MP representing a constituency in Parliament.
Representation means having someone speak or act for people's views and interests in decision-making. In a general election, voters in each constituency choose an MP to represent that area in Parliament; the candidate with the most votes becomes their MP. Local elections choose councillors to represent people in local government.
