There were national elections in both France and the UK this week. In France, the non-populist parties managed to game the system to ensure that Marine Le Pen's National Rally couldn't form a government. In the UK, Labour ended up with 410 of 650 seats in Parliament on a 33.8% share of the vote. Meanwhile, in the US, 70% of voters want neither Trump nor Biden as president, but they'll get one of them anyway. Can somebody define what "democracy" actually is?
