Is it? The conservatives got 36% of the popular vote... meaning that 64% of voters didn't vote for the Tories last time, either, and of course, that 64% of the population is living under the rule of a government that it didn't vote for. Democracy in action is so awesome.
So... no it's not really how it works at all. I guess you could argue that more people didn't vote for Labour than didn't vote for the Conservatives, and that's "how it works", which is accurate. And ****ing depressing TBH. But again, that's democracy...
arguably the least crappy political system we've come up with thus far.
