    Replacing someone who rejected the electorate with someone the electorate rejected.

    I reject that analysis. But thankfully politics isn't like boxing, you don't have to retire as soon as you lose a big one.
    "Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    An odd coincidence looms?

    Could we see the interesting situation of the Lab & SF Senators who were the beneficiaries of a voting pact both returned to the Dail in bye elections on the same day?
