Law which purports to “require” representation fails two fundamentals of democracy:

1. Laws which include or exclude, are instruments of force not voluntary commitment
2. Democracy, rightly or wrongly, requires voluntary action

While attempts to camouflage this bare bones fact may sound elegant and seemly the law in this role is the ugly instrument of yesterday’s armies and operates by force and the threat of force. Representation which cannot be achieved without behaviour enforced by law is neither voluntary nor democratic.
