   ...let me try and understand this

We elected a panel of 11 who garnered over 57% of our vote, averaging a
little over 5% of the votes each. They are our panel, elected by us,
initially "new" to each other, and now having worked together.  They have
been active.

The unelected 16 have, for all extent and purposes, disappeared back into
that from which they came.

But, when our Panel asks us for some guidance, when we have seen neither
hide nor hair of the unelected 16 since the election, a group by the
way who averaged only a little over half the votes each - 2.6%:
 - we refuse to react to the new facts
 - we all of a sudden call our Panel "cronies"
 - and we suggest that if they were to suggest individuals to fill
vacancies that would be "a prescription for the formation of a "ruling
class" or clique"

Huh?

I would rather be proactive and make changes as the facts demand, than
hang my hat on the fact that "well, that's what we said we would do,
yesterday..."
