How are minority representatives held accountable?
Minority parliamentarians should be held accountable in the same ways as those from the majority communities. If they become unpopular the voters should be able to oust them during regular free and fair elections, and if they transgress parliamentary law they should be held to the same standards. But in the case of minority parliamentarians it is particularly important that they are valid and legitimate representatives of that minority community especially if they owe their seat to a special provision for minority representation. There is little more unrepresentative than a minority MP who is window dressing for the majority and is seen as an illegitimate representative of the minority community they notionally represent.
