Dear Roy,

You seem to have missed the point. I am generally against super majority decisions. It may be requested on specific issues but not by default.
You say a certain level of trust is necessary regarding representatives, that trust is also necessary for the people. If a rep does not show up for a vote, likely I don't want that person voting. Same with people. If the person does not show up to vote, I don't want their vote as it indicates they are to absorbed to cast their decision.

Those of us who do vote, like you and I have likely considered the matter and the majority of us who vote are likely to make good decisions. By maintaining the 50% + 1 we can also change a decision easily. If you make things to tight, people will not be involved.

Keep your site up Roy, times are changing for the better. Slow but sure.
