Democracy? in the USA or UK.

[gordonrussell]

I have been looking at election results in America and the UK and it looks like there has never been a modern General or Presidential election where any of the declared winners got over 50% of the potential number of electorate votes.

Greek demokratia, from demos ‘the people’ + -kratia ‘power, rule’ : perhaps 'minority rule' is more apt ?
