Re: Democracy is that true ??

Look at it this way, 53% are against Royal! The winner takes it all when the executive power is elected, proportional representation is secured in the legislative.

What would be your solution, then? Even the parties in the Swiss government only represent 81.7% of the voters...

Mmmmmmm. That sounds like a typical socialist argument for not accepting what the majority votes for...
Socialist in the French context i suppose? The argument usually goes like this: "x% of the residents weren't allowed to vote, x% didn't vote, x% did vote for other candidates, so the winner doesn't represent the majority!"
