> Majority rule based on one-person-one-vote notoriously results in tyranny of the majority–a large number of people who care only a little about an outcome prevail over a minority that cares passionately, resulting in a reduction of aggregate welfare.

Calling the majority tyrannous and assuming fringe interests to be naturally benevolent reeks of an agenda.
