gyokzoli: So, here is Orban Prime Minister, who is probably the biggest Hungarian asshole of all time (and the most corrupt).
And you might think that, the majority of Hungary voted on him (or his party, Fidesz).
Wrong!
Fidesz only got 44% of the votes during the parliamentary elections. And yet, Fidesz got 67% of the mandates. How can it be possible?
Well, they modified the election law in a way that it made it possible. The same happened during the municipal elections.
And please read this blog:
link Same sort of things happened for Republican Primaries. Most primary votes would have gone to Ron Paul after a bunch of top picks dropped out. The old-school Republicans don't like Ron Paul, so they changed the rules of the vote at the last minute so that Ron Paul couldn't even be on the ballot.
I like democracy. No matter who is on the ballot, I like it when the people make the good or bad picks. And bad picks are sure to come. But the idea of democracy is that the people will learn from their mistakes and their mistakes will be short-lived.
I hope you get someone decent in your country sometime soon.
