Selection of a representative is multi-criteria decision analysis problem. The elector chooses on some weighted assessment of party manifesto and candidate's performance &c., in order to derive a voter choice for the representative most likely to deliver the "promise." It is, therefore, a popularity selection process and should be rightly regarded as such. The Borda Count delivers the candidate who is most popular with the electorate i.e. Meets most of the requirements of most of the electors. It also provides a voting solution with least paradoxes.
