The traditional "one man, one vote" democratic election is a curious system because "one dollar, one vote" better allows those who want something more to express it compared to those who care less. Economically the latter is more efficient.
Therefore, issues to be decided by a traditional election should be those for which it is deemed need a conversation, a debate. And people should approach such an election not to take sides, but to see the debate through to a conclusion, deciding what is the correct course of action. Therefore, an election whose result isn't consensus, or close to it, is a failure of the political process.
