Is democracy degenerating to a democracy-of-two-thirds in which the lower third of the constituency goes unrepresented? A closer look at different societal groups shows that income alone does not explain whether or not a citizen is represented well. It is important, however, if this citizen votes or not; participation is pivotal for the quality of representation. As long as the majority of citizens in this lower third of the constituency votes, its representation is not necessarily in danger.
