Gubernatorial mathematics

If there are 3 cows, and 2 of them are allied with each other, the third represents the majority!

This is a basic axiom of what I call Gubernatorial Mathematics.

It is generally well-known that most of the politicians in India are illiterate. I have often wondered how these apparently illiterate people become very learned, when it comes to calculating number of seats required for a majority.

Now, these politicians have to make sure that they "don't" get the majority. It calls for a thorough understanding the gubernatorial math. With that as a base, parties have to ensure that they finish second, and have an alliance with the Congress(not for the numbers, but for the clout of Congresspeople over Raj Bhavan occupants).

Kids aspiring to become politicians one day, could well be trained in this new branch of mathematics as a tool for realization of their aspirations.
