why should the majority rule?

Answer 1

Because if the minority ruled, the majority would be pissed off. Letting the majority rule minimizes the number of people unhappy. Also, it's easier to beat up 1 person when you have a a hundred friends rather than the other way around.

Answer 2

Economically speaking...The wants of a man are unlimited...
It is practically impossible to satisfy each and every single individual...Hence the least you can do is satisfy the wants of the majority...

With a majority ruling...It can be argued that the ruling party represents the majority and thus should be more acceptable and less prone to default criticism.

Ofcourse this does not constitute the manipulation of the minority...Infact with the backing of the majority one can take wise decisions regarding the minority expecting minimum backlash ..something which would not be possible incase of the minority doing the same with the majority.

However there should be proportionate representation in council in case of the presence of several minorities..

Answer 3

The expressions of majority has to find favour for ruling. Otherwise, decisions cannot satisfy the interests. Do you want an autocratic rule, a monarchy, communism or Democracy - what is the alternative?
Instead suggest for more eminent, selfless and patriotic individuals to come forward to contest elections.
