    I mean there are only 4 countries (other than India) that have populations higher than that vote count. So yeah, unless China becomes democratic, India’s always going to have the most popular democratic leader regardless of how fucked up FPTP is.

      This point is also kind of useless. So what if more people in his country like him more than the leader of any other country is liked by their respective voters? The only benefit of that fact is misleading others while telling the truth. It certainly highlights how broken FPTP is while also highlighting how many people there are in India.

      This is a perfect example of: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
