I agree with the sentiment that we should all vote, but your fact are not quite on target..."By one vote Cromwell was elected Lord Protector" No. In 1645, Oliver Cromwell became leader of the New Model (Puritan) Army, but not of England, which was then in the midst of a civil war. He didn't establish his own government until 1649 - and then did so in part by expelling opponents from Parliament. It wasn't primarily votes but strong leadership and military force that established his control. "By one vote Charles 1 was condemned to death" No. In 1649, King Charles I of England was executed - but not as a result of a one-vote margin. Cromwell's soldiers excluded the moderate majority from the House of Commons and shut down the pro-royalist House of Lords entirely; a newly established revolutionary tribunal then tried the king and overwhelmingly condemned him to death."By one vote Hitler was elected to lead the National Socialist Party"No. Hitler acquired dictatorial control of the Nazi Party in 1921, by a party congress vote of 553-1. (I wonder what happened to the chap who voted against)
