"Majoritarian politics' is democracy in the extreme. While in a democracy, the term 'majority rules' is accepted, often the wishes of a vocal minority are incorporated into laws being passed. In majoritarian politics, however, the majority does rule, and the wishes of the minority are typically disregarded.

What government is best for Iraq?
The best type of government for Iraq is a consensus based democracy apposed to a majoritarian government. Consensus democracy is the by far the fairest option because it allows for smaller political groups with limited support to have a voice in government. On the downside it isn't as efficient as Majoritarian democracy where the winners that take power direct policy so things get done quickly. With that said, in the consensus democracy, policy requires compromise. This is important in an unstable, violent country where people have weapons readily available. The key is having everyone represented. Majoritarian democracy can lead to flip flopping policies. (changes undone, redone, etc with different parties in power) Consensus democracy change is harder to make and can lead to more long term stability of policy. (same coalition members over time) Hope this helps!

Why is defense policy a mix of majoritarian and elite politics?
In the general context of "Society and Civilization," the defense policy of a given social group or nation is for several reasons a mixture of majoritarian and elite politics. For one thing, even many totalitarian or absolute societies are influenced by the opinions and feelings of the mass-majority, despite the fact that ultimate decision-making power lies in the hands of elites. For another thing, where democratic societies are concerned, the mass-majority is constitutionally significant: the "elites" in power in such societies cannot formulate policies, defense-oriented or otherwise, without some consideration being given to the will of the people -- at least, not without repercussions of some kind.
