However, unless Christine is not telling the truth, she and Lindsey were not part of the vote. That is a matter of record.

Thus, when Mick repeatedly says "majority rules," he is being disingenuous. "Majority rules" implies that they all discussed firing Lindsey, with each side presenting its case, and then they all voted. However, according to the CBS interview, they waited until two of the members left, neither of whom even knew this vote was going to take place.

I therefore am unmoved by the claims of "majority rules."

PS Look at it this way. If Lindsey had called John and said "Hey, I've got Christine on the other line. Three of us are a majority. Let's vote out Stevie. Once we make our decision, we'll let Mick and Stevie know the outcome." Would that have really flown?
I don't think so. I think that in the end, Stevie holds the cards in FM and Mick lets her because he has a bunch of ex-wives and kids and failed business ventures. If she really wanted Lindsey out then he's out, whether he managed to get a majority in his favor or not.
