Introduction
As a networked consultation, the chain of political representation is a pattern of democratic power in pluralist situation that create a possibility of change within the political life by epistemological expansion in order to make the differentiation movement possible. By hollowing the soothe life of masculine power and deconstructing the transparent dome of politics, such a critical thought has removed the challenges of delayed thought in the process of political connection and will bring about the possibility for maneuvering the social forces within the politics of pluralist order. As pioneers of this brand new political movement, women have paved the way of operation in the land of representative politics based on radical criticism of the status quo as an acute force. So, recognition and presence of women with the expressive developments as thinking about the democratic life is an interpretation of the political welcome to the politics of difference that redistribute the political scheme in the process of representative politics. The appearance of such gendered relation between representatives and voters is resulted from the collective attitude to governance and policy-making that tries to prevent the politics to a simple process of government based on continuous criticism against the power imbalances. According to these mentions, the main research question on this paper is whether turning the electoral activities of women to a resistance technology will recede the justification power of masculine politics and provide the possibility of returning the gendered balance to the politics? According to the main hypothesis, all the employed strategies regarding to women is a saturation without parity that will not end to gendered equilibrium by respecting the employment of women on electoral and party positions.
Methodology
The main methodological attempt of the current paper is epistemological- critical. In fact, context-dependency, politics-dependency and power-dependency of representative politics that led to perceptual confusion and implication of gendered representation and the relation between representatives and voters has blocked the whole methodological way except employing the epistemological method to explain the politics of representation. According to the methodological logic this paper, representation is not an algorithmic politics to immune the power and politicians, but a mechanism of political responsibility to make the power-holders accountable to their behaviors based on the assessment the corruption of the politicians.
Research Findings
proposing the multiplex sovereignty and federalist representation will amplify the epistemological wealth of women by releasing the women and the gendered politics from the tokenism and symbolic presence that leads to empower their political activity in the process of mutual relation between representatives and voters. This proposal will reduce the difficulties of democratic governance and politics of representation by lowering the symbolic position of women and turning gender politics as an institutionalized culture. According to the finding of this paper, standard management of the relation between gender and representative politics depends on economic, societal and cultural structures of the host society, the rates of otherness-based of political institutions, the momentums of the feminist developments, the voting-based, policy-based and office-oriented behaviors of political parties, the available opportunity structure of women and gendered socialization and acculturalization.
Conclusion
the harmonious design and combination of opposites as the truth of representative politics is a typical political newness and critical thought in the representative politics that pave the way of new policy-making based on modern political action. This scheme will not only get rid the women of objective position, but also invite them to the political management and life representation. This change is a developmental attempt to recognize the political superiority of women and a big jump to epistemological investing on representative politics and maintain the capacity of democratic society. Accordingly, it is rooted from the societal modernity as the immediate prerequisite of political one that the gendered activities will profoundly change the relation of representative and voters. In other word, it will not be possible to meet the political happiness of women and decreased rate of gender gap in the representative politics until they try to act collectively and construct a truth regime based on their political presence to change the mentality of power democratically.
