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?

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.

That's a good rule. It's a shame you can't tell people how to vote though, really.

I agree, but the CPC has other ideas, and the pundits seem to think it's inevitable that they'll win the next election.

Another election could be called

Then they should have won more of the vote.
