No, you are asked to leave because you abuse people.

I will stand up for your right to speak, but I don't have to agree with 
what you say.  But I will not stand up for you to abuse people or call them 
names.

In your world Vic, you say that, for example a 51% Elected Government is a 
majority, but it's not.

It just means that 1% of the people didn't have any alternative 
choice.  When you add that to the invalid votes and the people who refuse 
to vote because they are not represented, it's really about 38% of the 
electors.

So in this case Vic, 99% of the List membership is saying your squeaky 
wheel is too damn off track.
