Abstract:	Using examples from the German Bundestag and the British House of Commons, this chapter charts some of the developments being adopted by parliaments in their digital transformation. It also assess some of the broader normative implications for democratic representation, including questions of executive accountability vis-à-vis the legislature and explores more individualised styles of representation that have challenged the virtual monopoly of political parties in organising voter communication.
