Talk:Descriptive representation

From my (cursory) reading on the web, it seems to me that the term "descriptive representation" is used to argue that government should have the same composition (gender and ethnic) as the population that they represent, and not that, for instance, a female representative should only represent the interests of women.

I agree, so I changed "should only represent" to "should be represented by". —PrologFan {Talk} 20:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
