It was. If you had half a brain.
There's the rub, 50% of the electorate don't have a brain, quite
literally too stupid to be allowed to vote, whether they do or not.

The joys of a state education designed as a caucus race and
indoctrination engine. And to reject the ability to think dor yourself
as dangerous counter-revolutionary elitism.


And we get a government that about 20,000 people in marginal
constituencies decided, on the spur-of-the moment, to vote for.

All you can really say was that the majority of the country didnt want
