a question on this:

On votes like this, do constituencies always mandate the voting of  
the representatives, or do they ever leave it open for the  
representative to voter her or his preference, e.g. was the vote for  
seat 13, by constituency or by council member?  Are there occasions  
where a constituency is split on candidates?  what happens in those  
cases - due they do a mandated split of the vote, i.e. reps a, b vote  
for x and repc vote for y?
