The cause of this may be related to the fact that independence came too suddenly. Independence (democratic self government) requires the electorate to have the educational background to vote sensibly and further requires that tribalism and corruption are not significant factors in the election. It took the colonial powers hundreds of years to achieve a functional, inclusive, emancipated electorate. It is therefore hardly surprising that there are difficulties when colonialism was dismantled so precipitously.

What is a representative colony?
A colonial representative is a person elected or selected by the voters in that colony, or selected by the colonial legislature (assembly) to represent the interests of the colonists in the colonial government. The Parliament of Great Britain is the legislative branch of the British government. In the years prior to the American Revolution, the colonists complained that they did not have any representation in the Parliament, therefor Parliament had no legal right to enact laws for the colonies, with the exception of regulating trade. The Parliament answered that the colonies had virtual representation because Parliament (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) represented the entire empire, not any specific area of the British Empire.
