It is this kind of bumper sticker issue that made me start
the meta election. If 51% wants to send 49% to the gas ovens
should they have their way?

Removing that objection you still have to fill the office,
more than half the voters may not be behind anyone. More
than one candidate may have more than half the voters 
behind him.
