This poll was not representative for wikipedia readers, but only for some German wikipedia editors. Scientifically research found that Germa editors are not representative for German speaking people but far more environmetal-liberal-leftists than avarage Germans. The poll was even not representative for German editors because only a few voted.
233 would be a *large* turnout on en:wp. What is a large turnout on de:wp?
Your arguments look to me like fully-general counterarguments against *any* on-Wikipedia poll whatsoever, no matter the structure or subject. What would you accept as a measure of the de:wp community that would actually be feasible to conduct?

A so called "Meinungsbild" (opinion poll) is the tool of choice to make basic decisions for the project. Admins and authors are bound to such decisions. It usually needs 2/3 of the users to agree with a proposal (formally correctness) and 2/3 of the users actually voting for and not against the proposal. There may be variations depending on the questioning.
