Political parties reshape political representation, blurring lines between state and people.
The article discusses how political parties have changed the way representation works in government. In the past, the idea was that representation created a national will, but now political parties suggest there is already a popular will. This shift has led to what is called a "semi-representative" system. Essentially, political parties take on the role of creating unity among the people they represent. This means that political representation now involves separating the will of the government from the will of the people they represent.
