The tyranny of the majority is perhaps the reference?

Sure you could count every instance of someone not getting their will, which is unavoidable when decisions affect more than one person, as tyranny. But I don't think that's a very useful definition.

Sorry, I should have added a link in the previous comment. I think this is the reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority

I'm not trying to define anything, just trying to explain the reference.
