Talk:Representative assembly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Creation
Created today. This is a slim article, and should be extended or even replaced. In particular, in my opinion, there is a need for a moderately detailed answer to the question "OK, that's its history, but what IS it?". My main reasons for creating it were (1) to avoid a dead link in the article on Samuel Finer, (2) because it's important as a general concept as opposed to the particular examples such as US Congress, Swedish Riksdag, etc. A third justification also arises: (3) to be hanger for links to various other related concepts, in particular specific examples of representative assembly such as the above.

[edit] Further observations
I have done some rewording and reorganising, and I now feel that it is a matter of opinion whether it requires expansion or not. It is light (to non-existent) on describing the representative assembly as it is found in the modern world, but has links to some highly relevant articles – so it may be argued that it is fulfulling its purpose as it is: defining the term and giving a sketch history plus links to places where the details are spelled out.
