'Representation' should exist in all governments.

All governments exist as 'representatives' of their Country. Since, no 'Country' can exist as a mere 'political entity' without any People, it cannot merely act as a political entity on behalf of itself. It took a 'People' to form the Country and it should act on behalf of its People. This immediately places the Governing Body of the Country in a 'representative' state. The government represents the People in its domestic affairs and in its International affairs. The domestic affairs covers the direct relation between the Top of government and the Bottom of government, or the People. Its in the domestic area that anyone can ascertain whether a Country is acting in a 'representative' manner or not, simply because its the area where the direct relation between the Top and the Bottom can be perceived more clearly. Countries that do not respect the integrity and the uniqueness of the human condition, are not 'representative' in nature. In other words, the Leaders of those Countries are acting on behalf of themselves and not on behalf of the People it governs. In actuality, there cannot be any 'activity' that comes from the Top of government, that excludes the Peoples within that government. A Nation or a Country cannot act, of itself, by itself, and for itself, as a 'pure' political entity; that is to say, without Peoples. Its always an act on behalf of the Peoples or as representative of the People. Since a Top cannot exist without a Bottom to support it, a Top cannot exist without Peoples; millions of People. Hence, the 'representative' nature of all governments. Even Autocracies should be representative in nature. Otherwise, they could not exist. That being said; nevertheless, Autocratic governments do exist and Autocratic governments act as if they owned the world. 'Power' is a strange creature; but so are 'Peoples' in a 'condition of togetherness'.
