Being "owed" a seat just doesn't really seem to mesh with democracy as a concept. What makes one deserving other than winning an election?
TanielA lot of discourse since Tuesday hinges on idea that some politicians are owed a seat, it’s their turn & it’s problematic to not back them. & that’s so odd to me — because not only you have to wait for 88-year olds to deign to retire, but then there’s someone else waiting who’s owed & you can’t run?
