Maufe,
Fair enough, . . . but don't forget that Mr Blair, . . . , was democratically elected under the British system . . .
The key word here is British System.
First only 61% of the electorate bothered to vote.
Of the electorate, 53% were in seats won by Labour and 33% were in seats won by Conservative.
In 2005 33.24% voted Con and 22.64% voted Liberal with a total of 63.8% not voting Labour.
