In a hypothetical governmental unit with 5 persons subject its control, what is the chance that any action will be taken to harm any of constituents?

At the last annual meeting of the NEA, democrats joined the Republican Educators Association (or whatever it was called) in sufficient number to gain voting control of the committee so they could use it to claim further support for Democrat ideals. Apparently only 1/3 of the members quit immediately.

Frequently in a hypothetical governmental unit with 5 million persons subject its control, if 51% of the voting members support an action that harms 49%, they will go forward with it. That is not the kind of government that best serves its constituents.
