With the 1988 Constitution, the metropolis have had recognized its importance in the dynamics of urban life. However, the same not happened with the politicization of the metropolitan issue, neither with its management, which are continually neglected by public administrators and getting off the political agenda of the elites. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the negligence in relation to metropolitan issues seems to have a causal relationship with the Brazilian system of representation political This system, which in its operationalization, tends to prejudice in a systematic way, the representation parliamentary of country's most urbanized centers as well as the capitals and metropolitan areas. In this sense, let's examine the actual composition of the Legislative Assembly of Paraná-ALEP, based on the territorialization of votes received by deputies elected in 2006 in the metropolitan regions (MRs) polarized by the municipalities of Maringá and Londrina, in the Paraná state, Brazil. From the maps of election vote proportional, will be evaluated the constitution of the metropolitan vote. The understanding is that occurs under representation of metropolitan areas in parliament. Concomitantly, there would be an over-representation of the hub cities at the expense of the other cities. By consequence, the representatives would have tendency to legislate to meet the demands of their strongholds, featuring a recent phenomenon in electoral sociology: the "metropolitan pork barrel practices".
