I don't think I ever suggested the will of the people is a "good thing". I just argue that democracy is important, largely because the alternatives are far worse.
The people can make stupid decisions. See Tony Blair. But if we wish to avoid living in a very shit country under authoritarian rule, then it's important to respect the will of the people when they are asked.
