Political representation is a myth.
Believing in political representation is a superstitious belief. Such a belief is as delusional as believing in astrology.
No one can really represent anyone but himself. However, if you have a one-on-one agreement with someone to represent you in a meeting you can’t attend, it can sort of work a lot of the time.
But for one person to claim to represent hundreds, thousands, or even millions of other people with conflicting opinions?
That’s utter balderdash (to put it gently)!
It’s also useful balderdash for those who want you to comply– against your own interests– with their system of “representative government”. It’s useful because it seems to make most people complacent. To the point they’ll defend it even when the superstitious nature of the belief is clearly demonstrated to them.
No one can represent me without my explicit consent, contingent upon them accurately representing me in every detail, without fail. No one has this consent and I doubt anyone ever could. Is your consent not worth just as much?
