[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 77434929, member: 342064"] Actually Hamas won the majority of votes, seats (74 of the 132) seats and largest % (44.45 & 40.82 to 41.43 & 35.58). I think thats all the Palestinians have known is government by force. Fatah was also inhumane. They probably have got use to having the choice between two bad regimes. I would imagine Fatah also rigged things to stay in power. Fatah's leader Abbas tried to derail the elections as he knew he was going to lose. Which implies that Hamas was more popular at the time. The two factions have also been at war so I would imagine having either regime in power was not going to be good. But I also think most Palestinians have become use to radical leaders and many may even sympathise with taking a radical approach especially when Isreal is giving them a hard time. So it may have been relatively easy to sway some to support them.
