I think so, yes. Syrett's politics are reasonably consistent with what the voters in her ward generally support, but one of the core values of that ward is diversity, and there's a pretty good chance that a member of the LGBTQ community and/or a person of color would have won the seat in a fair election. As it turns out, another financially comfortable, establishment white person is entrenched on the council, probably for the rest of her life. I like Syrett well enough, but don't like how she came to be a councilor.
