Explanation:

At first glance political representation in a liberal democracy such as Australia is a straightforward concept: about every three years at a national level there is an election where citizens in defined geographic areas (be it a local electorate or a state/territory) choose from a range of candidates—themselves citizens living in (or near) that same area—and elect a few to sit in the national parliament as representatives of the people living in defined geographic areas. Yet both theoretically and in practice it is far more complicated. While representative democracy is often poetically described as government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’, it is not only ‘the people’ who are represented: political parties, ideologies, states, business, unions, the environmental movement—to name but a few—are also represented. Furthermore, even the very notion of ‘the people’ is amorphous as a representative cannot possibly represent the full diversity of ‘the people’ and all their divergent and conflicting interests.

Explanation:

  • The strength in the lower house or the Lok Sabha is 552 where 530 members represent their States, 20 members represent Union Territories and two members represent the Anglo-Indian community.
  • There are reserved seats in the Lok sabha for members representing the Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribes.
  • 412 seats are general seats, 84 reserved seats for Scheduled Caste and 47 reserved seats for the Scheduled Tribe.
  • Reservation in the parliament ensures equal representation of all the communities.
  • Hence a representative form of democracy is the best model to ensure equal and fair representation, especially for a country like India where few communities are historically marginalised.
