The Role of a Leader

The poll doesn't distinguish between 51% for the citizens of the country and 99 percent for the citizens of the country though...

It doesn't matter. Is your primary responsibility as a leader to look out for the citizens of your country or for the rest of the world? You're not any less of a citizen if you're part of the 49% who didn't vote for this specific leader.

That's not the question. There's a distinct difference between spending say, 51% of the gdp on your own country and spending 99%. And really, talking just about foreign aid, the argument usually comes down to 97.2043 percent versus 97.2042 percent.

There is a distinct difference, but who receives the first share of the GDP, regardless of how much it is? The people of the country, or the rest of the world?

I say "to the people it govers directly".
