Unanimous Majorities are Bad for Morale

Beijing doesn't need Karl Rove to tell them this. That's why Mad Dog, Long Hair et al perform such a useful service for the PRC, providing a veneer of democracy as they are permitted to feast on the carcasses left lying around by its divide-and-rule policy.

All foreshadowed by the remarkably prescient Prisoner episode, "Free For All":

No. 6: "It looks like a unanimous majority."

No. 2: "Exactly, that’s what’s worrying me. Very bad for morale. Some of these good people don’t seem to appreciate the value of free elections … You are just the sort of candidate we need."
