Simpson's Paradox and the Fundamentally Important Issue in Election Methodology System in Democracy!

Majority party in an electoral democracy could actually be minority, the reason being , like in Simpson's paradox it's sample dependent on how different constituents are made. Different sample choices of constituents with different set of voters could lead to different locally majority parties.
Sampling is vital how constituency is created and allocated! One can manipulate the construction of constituency and its total  number  in such a way that minority party(in votes overall)can win in majoirty of constituencies and majoirty(in votes) could win only in minority of constituencies. This is possible statistically and related to Simpson's paradox how constituency based on subsampling of data is constructed ! Say the result could be different in case of 400 constituency gets changed to say 600 constituencies.


It's also likely possible that a party with majority has actually overall less number of total votes than the parties not in power or opposition considering all other parties. That means in the existing system of democracy, so called majority party with lesser number of voters in favour overall is having more number of voters against it.

So, so-called Majority ruling party coudl be actually minority party being overall in various scenarios.
Hence mathematically and statistically, one safest and simple way in the existing system is that for becoming truly majority , any party also needs to have global majority along with local majority i.e. also more than 50% of votes ! Then only true majority would established in unbiased ways ! If one gets overall 50% votes then that would likely be independent of constituency constructions and it's numbers and how local majority is decided in the elections ! In that case a minority party overall in vote terms can't win the election overall which could happen otherwise ! 

This seems to be very critical lissue statistically.
