> To be honest, I don't think people should cry they have a mandate from the people with less than a 55% majority

Can I ask what 55 is? (for instance, in India 66 is a special percentage required for some bills).

It is a bit nuanced but there are several forms of fund raising and such that require a 55% majority to pass.

We have other things that require a 2/3rds majority as well.

Thanks, that's the sort of thing I was looking for.
