What part of "I’d have been happier with something approaching a 2/3 majority" doesn't mean 66%.
What part of "Such a consequential decision shouldn’t have been made by less than 50% of the actual population." doesn't mean 50% of the entire nation?
0 u/HueMannAccnt Earth May 14 '25 edited May 14 '25 "I’d have been happier with something approaching a 2/3 majority" The result. They were talking about the voting result. How do you take it for 66% of the entire population? Edit: "Such a consequential decision shouldn’t have been made by less than 50% of the actual population." I just took that as opinion, and seperate from the preceding. 3 u/AuroraHalsey United Kingdom May 14 '25 I never talked about 66% of the entire population. I've been saying that their opinion about "50% of the actual population" being required for a "consequential decision" is too high of a bar.
