* A note on the Systems of Representation may be made. The present System of Voting eliminate votes and public opinion by opposition.
The Voluntary system of Representation here suggested sets to work the option-principle in five ways, viz. (1) in exercising or claiming the vote, (2) in grouping for voting, (3) in selecting the Representative (4) in timings for polling and (5) in the method of voting. Thus, under the system, any hundred adults in a constituency join and register their votes for a person before a Magistrate in a prescribed form on any day in a prescribed month and elect him their Representative. Ten such Representatives, three months later, similarly elect a delegate; and ten such Delegates, later on elect a Deputy who would be a member of the Assembly. A Representative may submit a written representation and a Delegate may be empowered to speak after due notice once in a session of the Assembly. (For details vide “Conservative India” p.p.103-109.)
Another method would be to admit, for the whole field, not persons but only parties, in nominations and to assign the available seats to the parties in proportion to the votes polled. Thus if there are 150 seats and the parties A,B,C, D,E, score 12,8,5,4,& 1 lacs of votes they would receive
