Ever since the last election we have been hearing about the conservatives shouldn't be in power because more people voted against them than for them. Why don't people just accept that they lost? What happened has always been so as can be evinced from the results above as an example.
Can we stop the "Oh it's not fair, we lost" thing? We never hear it when labour win.
Just get over it.
