I prefer my rule of thumb Wolfgang - it's only a majority if it's 50 per cent plus one. That's what it's always meant so far as I'm concerned. Nobody would describe a government which had fewer that half the seats in a parliament as a majority government, even if it it had far more seats than any of the other parties.

"Isn't it interesting that the highest percentage wishing Bush did not come is among those above 65?"

I agree. And it's not what a lot of people would have predicted. It rather undermines the assumption you often get that caring about these things is just a matter of young people going along with a fashion, "they'll grow out of it"...
