Explain the british counter-argument that the colonists were “virtually represented”

The British government argued instead that the colonists enjoyed virtual representation in that they were represented in Parliament in the same way as the thousands of other British subjects that  did not have the vote and towns such as Manchester which were not represented in Parliament

the nationalists wanted a strong central government so the new country wouldn't fall apart.
