Finding what most people think is best is a simple and easy way to find what advice should be taken. A common occurrence and agreement from many people will likely lead one to making the right decision. Going back to the second example in the introduction (flavored juice), the father wouldn't ask one of his kids for their favorite flavor and buy it. It is very possible that one kid wanted orange juice, but the other three preferred apple juice. In this case it makes more sense to buy the apple juice, since it's what most people prefer. Buying the orange juice would be inefficient in pleasing his kids. A democracy would function the same way. One citizen isn't asked what they want, the opinions of all citizens in said country are taken into account.
