I got your point perfectly well, Kevin. You failed to get mine, which is that happens to be the way we are governed. Someone elected three times hand-running under our system is, within our system, the choice of the people: it is mere pissing-in-the-wind bitching to deny this on fatuously inapplicable statistical grounds which there is no popular will whatever to emend. By your reckoning, we have had no government since 1950 with a mandate from the electorate to govern. Isn't it amazing how much more stable our governments have been over the period than those of all those other places with the marvellously fair, fully-representative systems whose governments survive for all of 10 minutes on a good day!
