The point being made is that in a healthy democracy, voting is either very high turnout or mandatory, as in some countries. It's also worth pointing out that getting 20% of all possible voters is an extremely weak mandate, and one of the norms we've been relying on is the idea that you don't have the right to fundamentally reshape the country according to your preferences.
