8y DD was asking about the election this morning, but I am not really sure I can explain it all clear enough. I don't know enough about it all in order to clarify it in simple terms.

In her opinion - the person who got the most votes should "win" and be prime minister.

How to explain why this is not the case? Not sure she gets the whole majority issue.

Maybe school will have covered it a bit (fingers crossed).

Because more people, in a way, voted for him not to win.
