I'm not sure I disagree with BASSA's (rather badly expressed) message on this one. If my Union called a strike, gained a majority to do it, and I had voted no, I would accept the collective position and withdraw my labour. No point in being in a 'union' otherwise.
Likewise, in a democracy the minorities have to accept the rule of the majority. The idea is that you win the argument so your rules become the accepted ones. You can't just ignore certain laws/decisions because you don't agree with them, otherwise who would pay tax?
