This project aims to understand and strengthen how politicians represent their constituents. As trust in politics declines, there is more pressure on politicians to engage with citizens. Understanding how these demands are reshaping the representative work of politicians is crucial to building trust and legitimacy in modern democracies. By interviewing and observing Australian politicians, this research will build important knowledge about the dynamics, demands and practices of contemporary representation. A national and international audit of novel ways to engage constituents will lead to valuable resources that politicians and citizens can use to assess and improve representative relationships, enabling stronger democratic institutions.

该项目旨在了解和加强政治家如何代表他们的选民。随着人们对政治的信任度下降，政客们面临着更多的压力，需要与公民接触。了解这些要求如何重塑政治家的代表工作，对于在现代民主国家建立信任和合法性至关重要。通过采访和观察澳大利亚政治家，这项研究将建立有关当代代表的动态，需求和实践的重要知识。对选民参与的新方法进行国家和国际审计将产生宝贵的资源，政治家和公民可以利用这些资源来评估和改善代表关系，从而加强民主体制。
