			// This is, more or less fine if the threshold of saturation is high and only a small
			// subset or ever likely to become saturated. Once saturated, the score of these whales
			// are effectively the same.
			// Let's consider when this will happen. The approval stake of a target is the sum of
			// stake of all the voter who have backed this target. Given the fact that the total
			// issuance of a sane chain will fit in u128, it is safe to also assume that the
			// approval stake will, since it is a subset of the total issuance at most.
			// Finally, the only chance of overflow is multiplication by `one`. This highly depends
			// on the `P` generic argument. With a PerBill and a 12 decimal token the maximum value
			// that `candidate.approval_stake` can have is:
			// (2 ** 128 - 1) / 10**9 / 10**12  = 340,282,366,920,938,463

			// roughly:
			// (2 ** 128 - 1) / 10**9 / 10**12 / 200000 = 1,701,411,834,604
			//
			// It is worth noting that these value would be _very_ different if one were to use
			// `PerQuintill` as `P`. For now, we prefer the performance of using `Rational128` here.
			// For the future, a properly benchmarked pull request can prove that using
