In most electoral systems, winning 43% of the vote is usually sufficient to gather a representative majority.

Even in USA which is highly bipartisan, people vote is not directly linked to electoral votes. In Serbia (and possibly many other countries), there is a census and parties under it have all the votes for them basically ignored (I remember a vote from ~10 years ago with a census of 5% when less than 20% of the voting population resulted in over 67% of parliament seats).
