Most people have been conditioned in the government schools to
believe otherwise. Even for those who know better it is very easy
to slip up and use the incorrect terminology since it is so
pervasive.

Democracy is just mob rule, where 51% of the people have their way
the other 49%. (It has also been described as two foxes and a hen
voting on what to have for dinner.)

If it weren't for the electoral college, California and New York
would decide every presidential election and the rest of us might
as well just stay home. (Of course this is the situation that the
Communis... oops, I mean the "Democrat" party, would like to bring
about.)

Are you saying you don't want each individual citizen to have an
equal vote?


As a Brit you should know your vote does not count.
