Re: Good, good.
>>>If I could get 50% of people who vote to vote for it it would be OK?<<<
No it might not be right or even ok to many, but can you come up with a way that implements any split decision and avoids upsetting the minority1 (50%-1) to some extent when it is imposed on them? We allow MPs to be elected on merely the +1 (no need for 50%).
>>>Mob rule is not democracy<<< No, but democracy IS mob rule and it has its good points:
(1) It can force a peaceful change of leadership, avoiding having to repaint lampposts, fill in the holes in walls, wash the streets etc.
(2) It gives a simple view of the weighting for/against any decision > informing future policies.
(3) It creates the need for debate before a decision.
1 Only those taking part count, if you have an opinion & don't vote then don't blame the outcome on anyone else. Many died to obtain and then maintain the right to the truly free votes we get.
