We Brits did not re-elect TB, Doug.

Thanks to our ridiculous electoral system, one third of us put him back in power, and that only happened because we had no realistic alternative.

It was a bit like being asked to choose between Hitler, Attila the Hun, and Napolean. Napolean wins because he is slightly less hateful, but we don't feel satisfied (two thirds of us, that is).
