MessageYou do not have a majority, you have a plurality of the votes, majority is 50% + 1 not less than 33% of the vote. To make it a majority, one must have 375 seats in parliament.

MAJORITY (in a sense, although it isn't) AAP, CNF, GLOCK = 393/749 52.46%
DN! (PLURALITY) = 214/749 = 28.6%

28.6% does not equal a majority unless you're using stupid math. Are you using stupid math or real math.

MessageWe know this. We know what majority is. And we don't care about your statistics. The fact of the matter is this unholy union of a destructive party and it's lackeys shouldn't count as one super party. You're destroying democracy (in more ways then one) and we refuse to sit back and let it happen. We are the Largest Party and we are excluded because of this goon club that is being formed.


(OOC: I know what Majority is, I took Stats, I have the mental scars from it. I'm just trying to make a point).

MessageI am still a firm believer in a fair place for all parties. A "Christian" party cannot represent an Islamic nation in the Forigein Community. 3 parties make up this country now. We truely are moving towards an Absolutist soceity.
