This is a less than ideal result of having the ability to vote on as many proposals as you want. I think the ability to express negation on proposals themselves would be better.

As for setting the bar:

There are 168 Million Hive staked as HP. Of this, only ~24 million vote for the return proposal representing about 14%.

14% is not a sufficiently high enough bar. Especially when the other 86% have to share the outcome.
