I understand your feeling, but it's not the way elections are supposed to work under a "democratic system." Democracy is a matter of majority rule, not plurality rule. If you don't get a majority of votes, it ain't over.

That was the point of the essay.

Oh, I well understand that. But I’d rather have an honest plurality than a brokered majority and to hell with how anyone else things the rules should be structured or applied.
