If the majority of the people want it, they should get it, provided it doesn't violate the constitution, in which case if you can get 2/3 of the people to want it, the constitution should be changed.
Democracy does not mean "government of, by, and for the people unless the people want something that offends Kostya."
If you don't like the way the majority of the people want things, you can work to change their opinion, or you can leave. You cannot override the majority just because YOU don't happen to like what they did.
