A Green admires ban on bottled water

Stevedore at g.blog is full of admiration for Leeds University students’ association banning of bottled water sales.

He proudly proclaims:

Note: in this context ‘ban’ means make a democratic collective decision that for the good of the planet.  Compare and contrast this for instance to it’s opposite ‘freedom’, as in restore my freedom to live against my will on a globally warming planet by rolling back the ‘ban’ on old style inefficient lightbulbs.

Does this mean that banning the Green Party is a good thing so long as 50.1% of us make a democratic collective decision that it is for the good of the planet?

Nothing worse than a combination of the tyranny of the majority and zealotry.
