But the situation is either the 499 people get what they want or the 501 people get what they want. If 501 people isn't enough of a majority to get what they want, why is 499 somehow sufficient?

(perhaps foolishly seriousposting again, but I think this is an interesting question)

it's a fair point, and it's hard to resolve in the abstract. in a lot of situations we tend to put the burden on the people who want to change the status quo. for example, a jury trial is a vote, and virtually all us criminal courts require a unanimous vote to convict, which is effectively a huge bias in favor of the status quo. similarly us constitutional amendments require a supermajority to pass, and it's not uncommon for supermajorities to be required for things like corporate mergers. all these situations are different, but I think there are perhaps some common threads among them, including that changing the status quo may entail disproportionate risk (i.e. it's harder to predict what the consequences will be) and that risk has to be shared by everyone. I agree it's a tough question though

It's gonna be the Briton/Welsh Arthur who leads Wales and Cornwall to independence after Northern Ireland and Scotland leave. The Anglo-saxons will be left alone with their little chunk of the island.
