He's referring to proportional representation of political parties in Congress, if I'm not mistaken, and not proportional based on area or state population.

is that were one votes for a party instead of a person

so if a party got 10% of the vote

they would get 10% of the representatives in congress

?

I believe so.

then regions would not be represented only popular agenda

This wasn't my post or anything, but what I think the poster was getting at is the concept of limitation of parties in the current system. That if a region felt unrepresented you could see the emergence of the "Midwestern Party for Political Expedience," or whatever, which, if fielding enough support from the people of the region, would send representatives to Congress with respect to the amount of support it has.
