        Oh they have runoff elections? Jolly good, mate. I feel like celebrating with a cup of tea. Make that with an espresso and croissant I guess.

      It didn’t. It’s a two-round system. It’s one thing to win a plurality in round one, it’s another to win a majority in round two.

      This is exactly how it’s been going for the last N elections.
