Mr. Hager wrote in part-
With the Venetian system, set it up so that a failure of any candidate to get
at least 66% means that all candidates are rejected and a new election with
new candidates must be held.

D- Democracy = 50 % plus 1
ANTI- Democracy = less than 50 % plus 1
Super-Democracy percentages (for ordinary elections or the making of ordinary
laws) are a special form of ANTI-Democracy.
Example - 60 votes in the U.S.A. Senate (having 100 votes) to stop debates.
Most if not ALL of the political rot in the last 5,000 plus years is due to
ANTI-Democracy regimes -- mostly monarchs/ oligarchs (often UN-elected
powermad killers) -- recent examples - Kaiser Wilhelm II in Germany - starter
of World War I, Hitler in Germany- starter of World War II, etc.
