Abstract
In the frame of social choice, in the aggregation of preferences and more particularly in voting theory, we present two approaches of mathematical modelisation towards political representation. Together they lead, in Section 4, to a sketch of what is, in our sense, the nature, the ideal shape and the most common misuses of real-world modelisation, in particular, its mathematical modelisation.
