Technically you are right but that the way of thinking of people used to "first past the post " kind of elections you are used to. In countries with proportional representation , quite often there's no winner in that sense , winner is one who eventually get the top job. I was referring to that statement by Peter : "PS: I doubt if the Iranians hold much faith in free and fair elections. They will have noted that such a process elected Trump and Netanyahu! " Hindenburg giving him ( Adolf, not Peter ) Reichkanzler's job was acting by the book, as we learned later , bad book but still book. Quote
