You could also argue that requiring 2/3 would result in NO decision ever being reached.

Not sure THAT would constitute progress.

But a decision is reached.

Either the vast majority want change or they don't.

For big decisions that is not good enough - common approach is to have 2/3 vote in such cases

Maybe. Maybe.

Imagine a 65% leave vote and we remaining under those circumstances!

I read this the day before the referendum;

The analysis was pretty damn good. So good I didn't share it for fear it might sway votes to remain!

65% is sufficient to shut both sides up.

65% is sufficient to shut both sides up.

2/3 - one of the two is holding the who who lost and the other one is punching him

[PurpleGorilla]

65% is sufficient to shut both sides up.

But a 2/3rds majority would need 67%.

So you have a circumstance where well over a majority are for exit, and it still doesn't happen.
