		Representation theory is the branch of mathematics that studies properties of abstract groups via their representations as linear transformations of vector spaces.
		A representation of a group G on a vector space V over a field K is a group homomorphism from G to GL(V), the general linear group on V.
		This condition and the axioms for a group imply that ρ(g) is a bijection (or permutation) for all g in G.

	Constituencies of Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The constituencies of Singapore are electoral divisions in the politics of Singapore which may be represented single or multiple seats in the Parliament of Singapore.
		Constituencies are classified as single member constituencies (SMCs) and Group representation constituencies (GRCs) for single-seat and multiple-seat constituencies respectively.
		GRCs operate with a plurality voting system, meaning that the party with the largest share of votes wins all seats in the GRC.

	Proportional representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Proportional representation, also known as full representation, is an electoral system in which the overall votes are reflected in the overall outcome of the body or bodies of representatives.
		Full Representation is a term often used to describe Proportional Represention, yet differs from that term in that it is a description of the emancipatory effect that is usually attributed to proprotional representation; as such, nations with district elections may also achieve a representative level resembling full representation under certain conditions.
		In Ireland, proportional representation has resulted in a strange situation whereby a centre party with a large support base, known as Fianna Fáil, has 45% of the vote but the opposition parties are extremely fragmented with the only thing that unites them being their dislike of Fianna Fail.

		This story is generally accepted to refer to the North Indian immigrants to a certain extent intermixing with the indigenous Vedda population.
		Members are elected by universal (adult) suffrage based on a modified proportional representation system by district to a six-year term.
		Assimilation and intermixing has produced a group of people who are only marginally different from each other irrespective of ethnic boundaries.

	Singapore - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Singapore
		The constitution of 1965, amended in 1991, provides for a one-chamber parliament, whose 81 members are elected for five-year terms by universal suffrage from 40 single-member wards, two ‘non-constituency’ seats (with restricted voting rights), intended for opposition candidates, and, from 1988, 13 three-member Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) through a simple plurality system.
		In the general election of January 1997 the ruling PAP, led by prime minister Goh Chok Tong, reversed its recent slide in support and captured 65% of the vote (up 4% on 1991) and 81 seats in the 83-member parliament.
		The opposition only contested 36 seats, and it was reported that there were threats of withdrawal of government funding for housing renovation projects in any constituency that returned an opposition candidate.

	yax-553 Electoral boundary changes: as opaque as ever
		Tampines GRC MP Ong Kian Min said the absence of major changes to the electoral map will reduce accusations of gerrymandering and "increase the sense of fair play".
		However, since Punggol Potong Pasir GRC had exceeded its maximum limit for 5 MPs, it was to be increased to 6.
		Logically, the GRC that should lose an MP should be either a 5-MP GRC with the fewest voters, or a 6-MP GRC with the fewest for its range.

		In 1988, an amendment was passed to the Parliamentary Elections Bill whereby the concept of the Group Representation Constituency (GRC) was introduced.
		The GRC scheme requires that aspiring MPs (except for a minimum of 8 single-seat constituencies out of a total of 83) stand for election as a team of three to six members, with at least one belonging to one of the minority racial groups -- Malays, Indians and Eurasians.
		An amendment requiring at least one of the team members of a GRC to be female would ensure that there are at least as many women MPs as there are GRCs -- which now number 15.

	The Kway Teow Man: Which is Closed, Singapore or the Singaporean Mindset? Let's get it straight
		The truth is that ever-changing electoral boundaries, growing number and size of GRCs, smaller number of single-seat wards, and high election deposits have made things increasingly difficult for any would-be candidate.
		In any case, whether constituencies are contested depends not on the Government, but on the opposition parties.
		While it's absolutely true that in terms of numbers 4 single-seat wards is pretty much equivalent to a GRC in most respects, I just wish that the PAP will for once acknowledge that the GRC stacks the odds against the Opposition.

		In this case that means to proceed with its stated intention to amend the pertinent portions of the Bylaws in the absence of your voluntary agreement to limit your representation to one member.

		The prevailing wisdom is that the groups that influence foreign policy are, in order of impact, internationally-oriented business groups, experts, labor, and the general public.
		Mass public opinion, when controlled for the influence of organized interest groups, has relatively little effect on policymakers with the partial exceptions of House members and in economic policy.
		In particular Stokes and Choate (2001: vii) argue that “Gone were the days when a small group of self-selected individuals, no matter how diverse, could agree on a new national trade policy and then simply expect the public to accept it.

		These changes in the images or representations that we rely upon are introducing social changes as well, ranging from less reliance on the amenities of cities for educational and entertainment purposes, to new forms of populism as groups organize on the Internet despite lack of access to high-cost tools.
		Another inherence-utopian vision incorporates the Internet's group mind as only a minor foreshadowing of an end-of-time God, intelligent life connected throughout the universe, as a result of colonization of space (and so forth).
		Moreover, they are not necessarily competitors, since distance education may attract a constituency of students that doesn't affect the frequency of traditional education's ``moments,'' adding its own moments for students who might otherwise have been unable to afford the traditional experience or who simply prefer the way distance education fits into their lives.

		I agree with your assertion that it was not the responsibility of the gTLD constituency to deal with the lack of representation of the Individual Domain Name Owners (IDNO) and the Top Level Domain Association (TLDA) in the Names Council; however, that misses the point.
		Our clear intention was to provide an easy interim voice in the Names Council for these two constituencies, while diffusing your threat to modify your bylaws to deny the gTLD constituency its three seats.
		We are mindful of the Board resolution issued in Berlin requesting that the gTLD Registry Constituency voluntarily relinquish its right under the bylaws to select three representatives to the Names Council of the DNSO.
