 The Constitution further provides for the composition of a parliament which encompasses members of parliament ( MPs ) elected through Single Member Constituencies and Group Representation Constituencies , Non @-@ constituency Members of Parliament ( NCMPs ) and Nominated Members of Parliament ( NMPs ) . MPs are representatives of the electorate and have the role of raising concerns that the people may have . The Government 's view is that representative democracy is better understood as regarding political parties rather than individual MPs as the fundamental element in the political system . While the judiciary is not a direct manifestation of the concept of representative democracy , it serves as a check on the Government and the legislature by ensuring that their powers are exercised within the limits established by the Constitution , such as the fundamental liberties in Part IV .
