You need to pass the current search paramters in your query string
(?party=D&q=<txt>&page=<num> ) when you create the links to all the
pages, and you need to be able to retrieve them from request.GET in
order to recreate the object list (reps) when rendering a specific
page (any particular reason why are you using POST in the search
form?).
