Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that's treated the same as if you win by 50%. "You barely won, here's the same mandate as someone who won soundly"

Probably a bad idea, but there's an idea in there that isn't dumb.

Disenfranchisement with the system increases the less people actually pay attention to the system, both in how it functions and what it actually does.

The problem there is with the people not paying attention. Democracy requires participation or it spirals into tyranny.
