Re: Can someone with more knowledge on the subject answer me this:
The result was so close that you can reasonably claim just about everything swung it.
But none of that makes a difference. The rules are the rules, the game is over and there's no plausible way to replay it.
Does it raise doubts about the mandate of the current bunch of rulers? Yes, but frankly if you didn't have quite a lot of those sorts of doubts already, you're (a) not paying attention and (b) unlikely to be persuaded now.
