Like I said, he hasn't even attempted to explain why he thinks there is a link between running for MP and being appointed to a Senate seat. Even if there was one, who's to say that people voted against these guys when they ran as MP's anyway? Most people don't even know who their MP is, they just vote for the party they want to win. I've honestly tried to understand Slava's position here, but I just can't make any sense of it.
