Patrick is married to an Ang Mo and so is his daughter. With 2 ang mos in the family, I wonder what their though process would be and that of their parents for having a President with 35% of the votes.
The US avoids it by having the primaries and the electoral college albeit they did have minority Presidents in the past but a few points off 50%. Many countries have similar mechanisms such as runs-offs to ensure that a mandate is indeed a mandate of the people. The Westminster system avoids it by having party caucus or the like to elect the leader.
For such a super smart country, how did a man with only 35% of the popular vote end up as the President.
