There are a lot more than 2 parties. It's just that there are 2 major parties.

By the winner takes all rule, the forum dictates that 100% of the votes went to the pro-BFR.

Wouldn't you cry out in anger at the vote being rigged? Wouldn't you go out and demand the poll is labeled illegitimate?
Not really. That seems fair to me. What would you do, p[ut half a BFR in the game?
