2026-07 Dichotomies and dualities

Majority voting may be fair if, and only if, its dichotomy is a duality.
Many politicians like the win-or-lose majority rule; the system where they can win only everything, even if only on just 50% + 1 of the vote. And if they lose, they wait for the next election and hope for another vote.

Business also has too many vested interests, with leaders on majority shareholdings, and so on.
