Non-Representation

Non-representation is a concept in political theory where a group or individual chooses not to be formally represented by elected officials or governing bodies. Instead, they may rely on direct participation, alternative forms of influence, or different organizational structures to voice their interests. This approach might stem from a desire to avoid traditional political systems or to find more direct ways to engage in decision-making. It emphasizes that political influence and self-determination can occur outside of formal elective representation, highlighting the diversity of ways people can organize and advocate for their needs.
