Add to ORKGThese two well-written, unpretentious and engaging books address a central question for those interested in parliamentary democracy: who should represent us?

Should it be someone wise and experienced, or young and vigorous? Should it be a woman, to represent the largest proportion of the electorate?Australia Council, La Trobe University, National Library of Australia, Holding Redlich, Arts Victori
