My comment wasn’t about how the current laws of Austria are but about how they ought to be in any country.

You win the public vote when you get 51% of all the people who had the right to vote. That includes those who didn’t vote.

If participation is only 50% of the voters, and you get 51% of that participation, you didn’t get 51% of the votes, you got 25.5% of the votes.

And by this, I don’t mean what the current laws consider “winning the public vote” in any particular country. I mean what they need to be for that to be really true.

No.

Getting enough monsters and idiots vote for them is still a bad thing, but that doesn’t mean they won.

“Winning the elections” isn’t being the single force that got the most votes individually.
That’s first-past-the-post bullshit like they have in the US.

Those who win an election in a parliamentary government are those who can form a government.
