Much more true, I would think. We don't "make a government" - one party has the majority, no matter what, at least so far - so the best we could do is hope to elect Mr. Work-Hard-Pay-Your-Debts as president, and if he only got 30% of votes, that wouldn't be happening.

But then you have to postulate another candidate who gets 70%.

Yeah, that's true, but even if Mr. WHPYD had 49.5%, he still wouldn't get elected or have any influence on Mr. Business-As-Usual.

ON the other hand, unlike countries where elections last a month or two, he would have had two years to impress the country with his message.
