Territorial representation refers to the system wherein one representative is elected from an area defined by territorial limits. In our country we follow an area based system of representation.
Territorial Representation (TR) aims at giving representation on the basis of territories irrespective of the population of that territory.

Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the opinion congruence of voters and representatives in European Parliament elections taking nation as the constituency of interest, an implied model of representation similar to that in a classic Miller and Stokes analysis. Congruence is greater for some countries than others. MEPs are even less representative of their voters than are candidates in general, and all are more pro–integrationist than the electorate. Differences between countries are explained by variations in electoral systems and in national party systems. A genuine European party system and a common and PR electoral system would make MEPs more representative, but almost certainly less integrationist.
