Default Do yo feel comfortable when looking at the usage

The usage is: a verb acts as a noun



The statement also paid tribute to what party officials call the Important Thought of Three Represents, Jiang's idea that the Communist Party should represent free-market business leaders and the vanguard of new thinking as well as peasants and workers who traditionally have been its base.

In my view, the adding seems not that necessary.

You haven't answered the question:

Do you feel the construction of "Three Represents" comfortable?
