I expect that when Jimmy is going for an elected seat, there is a good chance that at the same time his appointed seat becomes an elected seat. When this is the case, it makes what some would say for a more "democratic" organisation.
That would work, but that would contradict Anthere's comment: "If so, he would liberate an appointed seat in june." That comment suggests the seat would remain appointed. Of course, that doesn't mean the plan can't change.
