Dear,

57% is a bloated figure in true sense. How many of these 57% do you think voted for the money they received? Or, many more whom money could easily stop from voting.

The problem is not with %age votes in favor of the decision, it is with the kind of democracy we have and us who elect them or don't go for voting to meet deadlines for our employers...

We need to make rules for validity of a party (based possibly on threshhold of public support) to avoid hundreds of regional/smaller parties to may be half a dozen or less and also make voting mandatory to elect sensible leaders.

So you are trying to redefine Majority and Minority, and if this is suppose to be the case then i think no decisions will ever be passed in our parliament.
