Then again, 29/46 = 63.04% which isn't consensus to de-admin either...

If you count all 102 votes:

 - If remit is counted as support, 64.7% support
 - If remit is counted as oppose, 76.5% oppose
 - If remit is counted as neutral, 54.9% neutral

 - If neutral is counted as remit, 54.9% remit
 - If support is counted as remit, 64.7% remit
 - If oppose is counted as remit, 76.5% remit

Bottom line: no consensus.

Of course, you can argue about this as much as you want, but that's what
the numbers say. In this case, I think 100-odd votes is enough to be
able to say "this is a representative sample".
