The CCP does not have confidence in that though, hence the way it runs the elections there.

I'd say that it has confidence in that, but their elections and government are structured in a different way.

If 95% of ford owners were satisfied with their black cars, vs 40% for another manufacturer that provides cars in multiple colors, then ford would be the better manufacturer.
