I don't think it is ever enough for a governing majority to simply be opposed to things. We have to be for things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.
There's no use to having the majority if you are going to be hamstrung by your perception of political vicissitudes.
Everybody's for democracy in principle. It's only in practice that the thing gives rise to stiff objections.
When you're in the minority, it doesn't matter what you're agenda is, you're not going to have the degree of freedom that you have as a member of the majority.
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.
It is possible for political forces to agree.
As for our majority... one is enough.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
We respect opposition to any position or policy. But we believe that the opinion that should prevail and be respected is that of the majority.
