CC just an important correction, in this situation we applied Shura and not democracy.
In quran we are commanded to adopt Shura (counselling) to conduct our affairs as in:
"And those who answer the Call of their Lord [i.e. to believe that He is the only One Lord (Allah), and to worship none but Him Alone], and perform the prayer, and who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, and who spend of what We have bestowed on them; " (Quran 42:38).
The Messenger prayer and peace be upon him instituted this principle - as u can see from Suhail's reaction - he realized that as long as Shura made this decision, regardless it was not my or his opinion, that we must agree.
