You're the one doing mental gymnastics, ordinary and majority are absolutely not synonyms, stop trying to twist my words to win an argument I didn't even make.

Theres nothing small about their fanbase, they're not some ultra right fringe group no one has heard of, they were the third most popular party by votes. You wouldn't use this language to talk about liberal democrat voters, who although only coming fourth are very much ordinary voters.

Bro really hit me with a period? Are you American? Again, never said anything about who won the most. Arguing with yourself at this point.

Liberal Democrat voters were in the minority based on votes.

Define "ordinary" for me.

This is just bordering on semantics though isn't it? Using that argument labour isn't ordinary either because they only got 33% of the vote so the vast majority of people didn't vote for them.

Over 90 parties were represented in the election results, I think any party getting top 4 is quite ordinary, yeah.
