@RustyBertrand @RustyBertrand weeeel, if 4/10 hate it, 3/10 love it and 3/10 don't care, the 4/10 would be a simple majority.

@senorverano @RustyBertrand True for some political systems, where simpletons do believe they are the majority; not for maths.

@villavelius @RustyBertrand ok, maybe it's also a language thing, in English what I meant would be called a relative majority ("a subset larger than any other subset but not necessarily larger than all other subsets combined, and not necessarily greater than half of the set.")

@senorverano @RustyBertrand I know; the kind of FPTP 'majority' that is passed off as 'democracy'.
Perhaps this deserves consideration: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30957274-against-elections
