Janssens took to Reddit on December 15, 2015, informing the community that he had been “forcibly removed from the Bitcoin Foundation board.” The former board member claimed that his tenure at the Foundation ended at the latest board meeting, when the board voted to remove Janssens in response to his motion to force the Foundation to draft a plan for development before attempting to raise additional funds from the community.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

The voting result was 2 for (Jim and myself), 3 against. We were one vote short to shut it down.
And at the end of the article it is mentioned that they have no support left and probably now it's better.
