It's worth reading how Hamas gained absolute rule in gaza. The last election was 2006, they got 44%, the moderate opposition got 41%. Hamas then murdered those they were supposed to share power with. No further elections.

Frost is just a mush-brained, deeply unprincipled Tory opportunist. The damage he’s done to the country in order to promote himself is beyond obscene.
