How can any decision-making process meet this requirement? There are
often conflicting desires between different members of a community. In
such a case, making *any* decision will have overruled the wishes of
at least one community member. Democracy at least lets everyone
express their wishes, rather than having e.g. a dictator that makes
decisions regardless of the wishes of the people under their
jurisdiction.
