In the normative understanding of accountability inherent in the model of representation by promising, the representative is "responsible to," "answerable to," "bound," and even "bound by" those voters.
In introspective representation, the representatives do have a normative responsibility to their constituents to continue being the kinds of people they portrayed themselves to be at election time.

 Challenges to the Concept and Practice of Political Representation in Australia (Research Paper 28 1998-99)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Political representation has become increasingly complex and contentious, in part, due to the success of social movements in raising demands for the fairer representation of 'groups' or 'identities' that were previously discounted, such as those based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality and disability.
The 'trustee' model appeared most distinctly among members of the Liberal party, while the 'delegate' model was filled mainly by Labor MPs who saw themselves as 'party delegates', or by new MPs who were keen on consolidating their seats who saw themselves as delegates of their constituencies.
This aspect of representation remains sadly neglected in Australia, and there are few constituency-based studies of political representation in Australia.(90) The survey-based research on representational roles, however, suggests that the second face of representation, the MP in the constituency, remains important both in terms of how MPs perceive their roles and in their actual behaviour.

 The Poison Of Professional Politics
The main argument of this essay is that the professionalization of politics is incompatible with the essence of representation.
However, the classic distinction between the representative as a trustee and the representative as a delegate (or agent) remains a useful key to the conceptual boundaries of representation.(29) Trustees depend on their own conscience, on what they think is right, or on their considered judgment of the facts relevant to a particular decision.
The trustee model holds that unless the representative acts independently, constituents are not represented but merely present in the action.

 The Roles of the Member of Parliament in Canada: Are they Changing?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Advocates of the “trustee”; approach continue to rely on the Burkean argument that the purpose of Parliament is not merely to reflect local opinion and interests, but to define the national interest, and that this process relies centrally upon deliberative discussion, compromise and independent judgment.
The “trustee”; approach to representation also possesses an inherent appeal to MPs, because it credits them with capacities for independent thought rather than demanding merely the transmission and re-expression of riding opinion.
Parties are the crucial unit within the political system, yet the electoral system and the formal workings of Parliament are all predicated upon the fiction that individual Members of Parliament enjoy sufficient autonomy to represent the interests and opinions of their constituents in a meaningful way.

 Climbing the Most Dangerous Branch
Similarly, the model illustrates why pretending to solve a problem may be better than a real solution: passage of a symbolic law gives a victory *1078 (of sorts) to those who requested it, and poor information may allow them to think the victory is more than symbolic.
Neither a mirror, nor an agency, nor even a trustee theory of the legislature adequately explains how a court can approach the task of identifying which clauses in a bill a legislature might have passed independently of the others.

The trustees could at least say, We think every single member of AAR is too honest to vote more than once, or, We goofed, we are very sorry, but it would be too much trouble to do the election over, or whatever.
My confidence in the trustees was shaken by having to fight to get a democratic system installed, and then only achieving a compromise, partially democratic system, with the trustees still not showing much interest in making it more democratic.
The trustees could at least have everyone resend their votes for this election to a different person who can recount them, to make sure there were no duplicate or dropped votes.

Both Schelling and Hegel make much of art, but the aesthetic model of Schelling was found in the contemporary world, where art was a special sphere and the artist a separate profession without a necessary, intimate connection with the epoch and nation.
By contrast, the model of Hegel was found in those works of national art in which art is not a separate part, but an aspect of common life, and the artist is not a mere individual but a concentration of the power of beauty and the passion of the whole community.

 Reform of the UN Security Council: A Comment on the South African Position
Moreover, arguments by the Non Aligned Movement have been advanced that the regional representation should be proportionally based, i.e., the representation on the Security Council should be based on population size rather than power and geopolitical influence in a region or on the international state system.
This model holds that representatives, once elected, should think for themselves, act as trustees on behalf of their constituents and exercise their independent, better and reasoned judgement.
The United Nations was never conceptualized, for instance, on a basis of proportional representation of voting strength according to either the size of the population of the represented state or its economic and military capacity.

 Industrial relations in the candidate countries
Estonia and Latvia have a special model of dual representation, with workers able to be represented by both trade unions and so-called 'workers' trustees'- ie employees elected to represent the workforce.
The workers' trustee is not necessarily a member of a trade union, though this is nearly always the case when a union is active in the enterprise.
As no findings of empirical investigations on workers' trustees are available, it is not possible to assess whether this system operates sufficiently in 'trade union-free' enterprises, on the hand, and whether it provides a second, additional channel for worker participation in enterprises with trade unions, on the other.

The idea is to some extent instrumentalist in the sense that the representative is in the first place a mean for the represented and the better the representation reflects the variety of preferences among the constituents the better the representative quality.
Secondly this notion of representation tends to underestimate activity on own judgements by the representative such as initiatives to aggregate new combinations of opinions groups, and to initiate new issues on the political agenda, which is in many cases believed to be an important part of the representative role.
The trustee theory (presented by Pitkin as "independence" theory) suggests that the role of a representative is to act in the interest of his or her constituents (Rosenthal, 1998, p.
