Libertarians prefer "consensus" instead; because, by definition, a consensus decision must please the minority parties too.  A pity that they can't explain how consensus could be achieved when the minority does not like what the majority proposes...

If a minority does not agree with the "consensus" then it is not consensus.

If nobody is forced to do anything then those that are willing to carry things forward can do so. Linux is a simple example of this. Nobody is forced to use Gnome yet there is no consensus on using it. The minority might not like it. But they are not being forced to use it. They can come up with their own GUI or accept it if the majority puts all of the work into Gnome.
