Q: Is the result of broad listening the will of the people? (Isnât it not the will of the people?)
A: First of all, I feel that you are not observing reality correctly in the first place when you think that âthe will of the peopleâ exists.

- A cluster is âa group of people who have similar opinionsâ.
