Say what you want about democratic centeralism but votes should have like 90% approval. I never really thought about it but there should bea threshold way above 50%. if 1in 2 people are unhappy with a vote it doesn't really represent the will of the people even though it is technically democracy
You're assuming this is designed to represent the will of the people. No, it's designed to give the ruling class a veneer of legitimacy
