75% majority can lead to decisions that are not democratic and potentially support the will of the minotity.

This law allows a minority of people in a community to defeat the wishes of the majority. The law is weighted too much in one direction. A vote of 60 % for a motion to carry would be much fairer.

60 percent is a good majority.75 percent is untenable

60 percent is more than adequate to reflect a majority and provides an adequate safety net differential of 10 percent.

75% is unreasonable. Why should 25% have control. 60% sounds much more fair.

For or Against I don't feel that a minority should have all the power. To me 51% is a majority so 60% would be more than just.

Seventy-five percent is too high a threshold to achieve in a large strata and risks long term development of common property

I think the real issue with the government is the fact that true economic development is being held up by a minority. I think this is the only avenue that will hit home with the government.

The existing system means that 25% have control, not realistic in a large strata.

We very much agree with your proposed petition. The result of the recent meeting was a travesty.
