Shouldnt stuff like that have at least 70% approval rating

It seems not even half of the population took part in this election. If we take the children into account that will likely suffer the consequences the most only around ~15% voted in favour of changing the status quo.

That said the numbers don't matter. Even 99y trying to undermine the 1% people not giving their consent would be ethically and morally wrong.

Democracy (also direct democracy) has always been easy to influence, easy to buy votes. It's absolutely the weakest form if representation as people stop fighting for what matters as they are made believe they are in charge.

Why did more than 50% not vote? That's what scares me even more.

Fake. There's a tell : real votes almost never come close to 50/50. Look at Latin American votes to see what actual voting looks like.

Imagine, 50.39% of the population (β€œmajority”) dictating the lives of the 49.61% (β€œminority”).

Democracy was not designed to defend people's rights.
