The value of democracy is that, if well implemented, those in power reflect proportionately the wishes of the whole nation. Sadly it rarely happens.

Oops, sorry, yes twice! Would have saved me the effort of recalling it.

As an aside, you know of course you might get photos you wish you hadn't. The internet back then was just a bit more civilised.
