Full Idea
If a citizen cannot even find a candidate whose views coincide with their own, then there is no possibility at all that he will send to parliament a genuine representative.
Gist of Idea
If the views of candidate and voter don't coincide, there is no way they can really represent them

A Reaction
He has shown that the complexity of issues makes such a coincidence of views a virtual impossibility. Ain't this the truth? All you can hope for is to elect someone who seems to be 'my sort of person'.
