Sometimes things getting done is a good thing.

Why does 50%+1 represent the will of the people?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Because that's exactly how democracy works, 50% +1 means a majority of the people want something, the rest had their chance to convince them otherwise, they can organize another vote later on to see if it's still the will of the people to do that thing at that point.
