Maybe if you're in year 8 Social Studies, but reality is a little different.
No offence.
Two thoughts:
1. Why can an extremely conservative politician who stands for all
things 1950s and women in the kitchen only receive ~20,000 votes, yet
run the country? Can't happen, you say? Can you say "Brian Harradine"?
2. Why can one politician push a ludicrous Bill through Parliament, yet
it takes more than 20,000 people to get that buck-toothed, hick law
rescinded? And only then if they're lucky.
I've been trying to avoid stepping into this circular argument, but you just
triggered my "I ca'ne help it, I gotta..." reflex. :)
Cya,
