Clearly. From Robert's Rules of order [1]: The word “majority” in this context means, simply, more than half.

First of all, thanks for the interesting read.

Secondly, your conclusion is a bit fast. Because it seems to be a cultural/language problem here.

Majority = Mehrheit in German.

In my mother tongue it means something completely different and I wasn't aware of that.

According to our German rules of interpreting language

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duden

Majority is simply the most.

Example: The most votes cast went to Trump so the majority voted for him.

Super interesting that English and German speaking populations have such a different interpretation on such an important topic of our democracies, that this caused an argument between us, when it really shouldn't because I need to respect your interpretation because it's true and vice versa.

Had worse starts into my Friday. Thanks for taking time out of your day for this exchange.

I agree that it's an odd difference. Thanks for setting me straight on the cultural difference. I've also had worse starts to my Friday. Thanks again.
