> But I think you also want local representation as well as party representation

I am not so sure about that. What makes geographic proximity to a candidate a good proxy for quality as a representative? Sure, a small subset of political issues are related to local concerns. However, many of those are very much topics where the local interests are split into several groups too, e.g. the rich factory owner who wants to pollute and the local residents who want a clean coastline.
