It's more of an abstract concept. If you are hanging out with a group of people, and 90% have one idea about how they want to do something, the 10% with different ideas will probably be overridden by the 90% majority. It's not about a form of government, but rather the reality of the way people actually are.

So...

What is the relevance of this "tyranny of the majority"? What issue is being tyrannised?

If you weren't making a particular point, then my apologies Smile

I agree that reality doesn't conform to ideals.
