The records show 100% of the population were on board.


And that we have always been at war with Eastasia.


If 100% of the population was on-board, then who did they rise up against? Even if it's a single leader, he/she is still part of the population of a country.


I was satiring totalitarian states that tend to produce fake nonsense statistics about how popular they are.

e.g. in 2002 Saddam Hussein was re-elected President of Iraq. He got 100% of the votes, and there was 100% turnout ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/oct/16/iraq )


Yes they always do!
