"I can't imagine what the district looks like who elected this person."
The MP would have been picked by his/hers/its party. Each party gets to appoint so many MPs on the basis of percentage vote (above a quite low threshold).

The MP would have been picked by his/hers/its party. Each party gets to appoint so many MPs on the basis of percentage vote (above a quite low threshold).This is the problem with "proportional representation." The "elected" official has no loyalty to the voters, but only to the Party boss who put them on the ballot.
