520	3		_aEmbracing 'groups' as means to address democratic deficiencies invites scrutiny of their democratic practices. However, many groups lack internal democratic practices and offer few opportunities for affiliates to participate. Guided by an implicit 'representation' narrative of groups, the absence of internal democratic practices is interpreted as a sign of 'failure' or 'deficiency'. Some scholars have entertained the idea of setting minimum standards of internal democracy as a prerequisite for policy access. This article scrutinizes this emerging consensus and its 'representation' narrative. Drawing upon the work of O'Neill (2001) and Pitkin (1967), it is argued that groups can also be viewed through a lens of solidarity. This paper argues that the type of constituency a group advocates for can be used to calibrate expectations of internal democratic structures of accountability and authorization. The concepts of 'representation' and 'solidarity' are used to make sense of the (changeable) practices of a variety of groups
