I mean that "public trust" is the most important aspect of any vote. You seem to discount this. That's where the "mandate" comes from - voting is not a mathematical exercise, it's a popularity contest. Expecting the populace to put their trust in a system they know almost entirely for its frailty is naive. Arguing that their trust is irrelevant is equally so.
