Reform 'voter' thinks 27% is a majority of the country

Just had a back and forth with a reform 'voter' and we were going in circles, I was actually astounded. They are either an actual 12 year old, or an excellent troll lol

Paraphrasing the exchange, it went as follows:

>Reformer: Keep calling the majority of the country all racist, It seems to be working, Reform keep winning....

>>Me: 26% is not a majority

>>>Reformer: I just checked it was actually 27%. Why are you lying about 1%? Reform are leading the polls and will form the next government

>>>>Me: Big whoop, I misremembered 1%, it doesnt change the fact that its not a majority.

>>>>>Reformer: Everything you say is lies, Reform did win the largest majority with 27% Conservatives were 2nd with 20%, Labour was 3rd with 16%, Lib Dems were 4th with 14% with the remaining smaller parties sharing the rest. I feel like I'm wasting my time and your trying to ragebait me at this point.

>>>>>>Me: I don't think you know what a majority means. Reform won a plurality of votes, not a majority. Are you 12 years old??

>>>>>>>Reformer: They didn't win enough of a majority to start a government which is what I think you are saying. But this was not a general election. They won a majority, that is a fact. I wont be replying further because you are just ragebaiting me.

????

I was going in circles lmao over such a simple point and it kept going over their head. I definitely think its a child lol
