This just goes to show "free elections" aren't the panacea they are always touted to be.
Look at the electorate in "palestine". They voted what they believe, which is terrorism.
Seems to me "democracy" requires a self-governing "demos" to produce a state or nation that will be respectful of their neighbors.
The "palestinians" are, mostly, brainwashed kooks, who have been trained from birth that the main goal in life is to kill jews and destroy Israel. They are damaged goods, and cannot be trusted to make rational decisions. The election will only be useful if we can use it to play rival factions against each other.
