In America, winning the most votes doesn't guarantee the power to form national government. There is no limit on opaque corporate donations, which can be masked via PACs, while individual citizens have strict limits and face jail time for exceeding them.

And even if a majority vote was enough to form government, the so called will of the people can be overruled by an unelected judiciary with lifetime appointments. You're really stretching the definition of "people are the government".
