The Members of Parliament believed that Virtual Representation worked. In short, they felt that saying that everyone in Parliament represented every person in the British Empire was a good plan. The colonists, however, wanted representatives who were there actually representing them. They wanted people chosen by New Englanders, Middle-Colonists and Southerns in Parliament along with people from India and the rest of the Empire.
