“So, he has to go round the North to look for votes. As he goes around, he will reach a point of either deciding that ‘Yes, I am now sure of controlling 50% of the votes’ or not. But if he is sure, he can’t tell us otherwise the outsiders will begin to chip in from all around.The 50% is the minimum number for him in the North.
