It should be 51% of the vote that a government gets elected on.
Why should the 60% be ruled by the 40% when they’re a minority.
What if no party recieved 50% or more and everyone is under, then what?
Run off elections or ranked choice voting. fairvote.org
Than a coalition is made.
And if one party is opposed to the concept of coalitions or even cooperating with othe rparteis?
If your party fundamentally doesn't want to participate in a coalition, they don't want to govern, they just want power.
As a rule, don't vote for people that don't want to govern and just want power.
I agree, but the CPC has other ideas, and the pundits seem to think it's inevitable that they'll win the next election.
That's a good rule. It's a shame you can't tell people how to vote though, really.
Another election could be called
Then they should have won more of the vote.
