REPRESENTATION AND JUSTICE

Abstract

In this paper, the regulations in the electoral system will be analyzed in terms of the problem of justice in representation. It cannot merely be reduced to election, but democracy is distinguished from other regimes with the right/freedom to vote and stand for election of the equal citizens. The relation between democracy and electoral system, which is a technical regulation, is also important. One of the two principles that must be present in the electoral system is emphasized to be “Justice in Representation” and the other is “stability in administration. “Stability” may be prioritized especially in developing countries, and some practices which harm the principle of “justice” may be seen. For example, it is not quite possible to see “justice in representation” in practice in Turkey because of the election threshold discussed to be lowered lately but not realized somehow. There have been some people with a negative view on the elections who believe that their votes will go for nothing due to the application of threshold. The vote rate that the political parties obtain and representation rate of them in the assembly are important data from the point of view of the rate of being represented. Again for example, some applications such as “quota of women” which will overcome gender apartheid become a current issue, making positive discrimination, and it can be discussed in terms of democratic principles. The right of being represented which has turned into a problem of “justice” can be regarded as identical with democracy, however, it must be indicated that it is necessary to have “representation” and “justice” simultaneously and the principle of “justice in representation” is of as vital importance as at least the principle of “administrational stability.”
