 Representation politics in the common view, political representation is assumed to refer only to the political activities undertaken, in representative democracies, by citizens elected to political office on behalf of their fellow citizens who do not hold political office. However, the lack of consensus in the political literature on political representation belies this common view. Theorists of representation differ not only in their definition of representation but also, among other things, on what the beauties of a representative are, who can't be called representative and how one becomes a representative. In her seminal work on political representation the concept of representation and a kit can define political representation as, the way to make the represented present again and identified for views of political representation which, since her book's publication, have shaped contemporary debates on political representation. Recently, Jane Mann's Bridge has identified for other views of specifically democratic political representation which, although they are distinct, share some similarities with Kitkin's. On the other hand, Andrew Refelt has critiqued the failure of theorists like Kitkin and Mann's Bridge to articulate the purely descriptive view of political representation and has proposed the general theory of representation that recognizes that political representation can be and often is undemocratic.
