I hear what you are trying to say (e.g. 11% are hard-right, roughly the same are hard-left, leaving almost 90% somewhere in the middle), but on the other hand... MOST people (I think?) in the countries that Nazi Germany took over did not desire to be invaded. In like manner, not everyone in Russia (most people even?) would like for the invasion of Ukraine to stop, and yet it goes on. i.e., not everyone's opinion is always taken into account equally.

Recently we just had a fantastic example in how McCarthy was booted from his Speaker role... by a handful of hard-line extremists. Never mind what "most" people want: the extremists pushed, and they won.
