The Seanad elections are doing their best to create the major whiff of hypocrisy, arrogance, political avarice, and an unwillingness to take no for an answer.

Can you flesh that out please because it seems a very general, vague comment that doesn't make much sense on its own.

Sure. People standing for an institution they once attempted to abolish, ideologically pure parties managing disputes about candidates, and numerous candidates standing who have been told no by the electorate time and time again.

In reality it’s a criticism of almost every party.

I don’t see anything at all wrong with people standing for positions in an institution they wish to abolish, provided that they don’t suddenly change opinion while they are there.

I don’t think many who elected who espoused abolitionist positions went in their with abolition as their main agenda.

In a post which vented about so called "ideological purity", did you not see the irony of your actual "ideologically pure" position?

I’m not worried about my own ideology or the irony that arises from my post. I’m not running.
