Answer 1 :
im a true believer of democracy so although i would make my opinion clear, i would agree to go with the majority opinion and not let it effect the quality of my work. or something along those lines
Answer 2 :
"I respect the opinions of others and expect the same for my own. If I truly believe in something, I will stand behind it. However, I am an open-minded person who will listen and consider others' opinions and values before I come to a conclusion." This is a fairly straightforward answer. You want to show compassion for others at the same time you want to show decisiveness and confidence. There's some key words in there - listen, open-minded, respect, and even the word expect. Remain confident but compassionate
Answer 3 :
If it's a democracy then you hold a free and fair vote! You campaign for your viewpoint, but if you lose, you accept it with good grace because that's what a democracy is.
