BGR,

>>You would rather be blackmailed by the minority, instead.<<

You don't understand it at all. I prefer the option that maximizes personal freedom. That happens to be the electoral process and not the popular vote.

If freedom loses out (your scenario) and the center is in charge of everything, you can call it anything you want, but it isn't "freedom". It's simply a case of 51% of the people deciding that none of us should be free.
