That is more the essence of my remark, actually. The implication of the original comment was that if one did not vote NDP ("correctly") then one can expect to be run over if one lives in an non-NDP rising. My reference to being represented in government was poorly worded as of course I do not expect a Liberal to be included in an NDP cabinet. I do however expect our leaders to represent all of the province, regardless of political affiliation, as you point out. After winning elections almost all politicians reach out to those who voted otherwise - "We will be a government for all Canadians/BCers" etc - and that is as it should be. The BC fires are a good example of this as there are no NDP MLAs from the affected regions but this will not have limited Victoria's response.
