For Richard: Majoritarian (note correct spelling)

I used majoritarian in a sentence today and I thought of you...

From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition:

ma·jor·i·tar·i·an, adj.

1) Based on majority rule.
“a naively uncomplicated premise of simple majoritarian democracy” (Saturday Review).

2) An advocate of majoritarianism.

From the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law 1996:

ma·jor·i·tar·i·an, adj.

1) Characterized by the rule or decisions of a majority (majoritarian politics).
