"...nowadays - minority governments elected by a minority of the electorate is a reflection of the state of democracy today".
.,,.

That "nowadays" and "today" are tendentiously misapplied, Jim: in that it has never been any different. There has never been a government elected by an absolute majority of those voting, let alone with a majority of the electorate as a whole [with poss exception of 1945, when figures were skewed by all sorts of extraneous factors -- and then it was only just - about 51·5% iirc]. Our constituency-based/1st-past-post system demonstrably doesn't lead to governments elected by a statistical majority; but all surveys & referenda, the last very recently, have consistently demonstrated this to be the system preferred by most voters. Sorry if it doesn't lead to the governments that that-lot-over-there would prefer; but as this system as practised is clearly the preference of the demos, and as they claim to be democrats, they will just have to live with it, eh?
