a trustee votes with his beliefs
a delegate votes for who he represents
a partisan votes with his party
and a politico mixes all 3 together like a bigass soup pot.
With the trustee model, there is a chance that the representative will act for the benefit of his or her own interests as opposed to the interests of his or her constituents. With the delegate model, there is a chance that the representative will not make the best decision for his constituency as a whole and ignore the minority as well.
A delegate is a person who represents a whole party. A trustee is a person who is given legal ownership of something for someone else benefit.
Delegate, trustee, ideological, and descriptive.
-Trustee -Partisan -Politico -Delegate
A trustee is the one who is not going to consult public opinion polls or go along with what polls say. A delegate feels that they constituents are the boss and should be obeyed.
In Congress, the trustee will vote according to their own political beliefs. The delegate, however, acts on behalf of the voters and votes in the manner indicated by them, regardless of whether it is what they personally want.
