They're a minority

Expressing a majority opinion, see my edit of my previous reply.

which means their government represents people other than them first.

Not when their opinion is in line with that of a significant majority of the population

You're genuinely arguing 'minorities represent the majority' which is intrinsically false.

Nope, you're the one doing that by pretending that the minority group known as The Government automatically only makes decisions that their voters agree with.

Btw, the current government coalition was voted in by a total of 37.23% of those eligible to vote (51.72% of votes cast with 72% voter participation), NOT the majority of the population.
