The result of voting?

A lady interviewed by the press was upset. If she voted Lib Dem but didn't get Nick Clegg as Prime Minister she thought it "was a poor sign of our society." She gave an illustration, that if she ordered cheesecake in a restaurant she wouldn't expect to get apple pie !

Presumably she doesn't realise that voting in an election is a little different from ordering a sweet.


On the other hand, say all the customers had a vote on their favourite pudding - the choices were apple pie, cheesecake or ice cream. Then, everybody had to have the sweet that came top!

Unless, of course, there wasn't a clear majority. Then maybe the apple pie could get together with the ice cream. That sounds quite good, actually. Although I'd prefer custard.

Maybe I need to re-write this blog ...
