4. It would seem not.
I can't even imagine what it would feel like to have national clout. What is that exactly?

5. Alone - 30% of the votes means 70% disagree with you - so no

it also means the far right is powerless as well so it isn't all bad. You wouldn't want the 30% on the far right to have absolute power over the majority but it means the far left can't rule the rest either.
