I get really tired of people who go around claiming "it's what the majority" wants. First of all, most people who claim this have no idea what the majority wants, and obviously cannot backup any of their statement except with the occasional media based poll. Even if a majority "wants" something there is no guarantee that is the way it should be, that is not how reality works here.
Would these same people be so enthusiastic if polls showed we should rule by islamic law, or maybe have a king and queen?
