If Kerry wins the EV but not the popular vote...

If Kerry 'does a Bush' and wins the Electoral College despite loosing the popular vote, will there be more demand for a change in the rules? And if this voting anomaly happens, will Republicans out there promise not to gripe about it!

Thank you. Oh and the reason why I have an interest is because i'm a student of American Politics in university! and it's a topic we have covered many times. But just to say, in 1951, Labour won the most votes in the General Election but not the most seats, so didn't get to form the government. And in 1974, I think, the Conservatives won the most votes, but not the seats. So our system can also produce the same results, and it's not been changed. Currently the Conservatives are ahead in many polls, yet if they were translated into seats, Labour would still gain a comfortable majority. That's politics for you!

Quite right VP Al. I don't trust any poll from 'Anything You want Guv' (YouGov)
