    That’s how voting works literally everywhere. If you count the people that don’t or can’t vote, American Presidents are elected by like twenty percent of the population, and the winner doesn’t even have to get a majority of the actual votes.

    The statement that they were voted in is a true statement, so I see no reason to correct it because you don’t like that fact.

      They won seats but never formed a proper government. Sure it’s a true statement if you want to be pedantic but it’s missing the relevant context. It’s not a nice and decent election in a normal and nice environment (thanks to Israel).
