Common Consent

Why do we have common consent in the church?

1) The Lord's Kingdom is a theocracy, not a democracy. There is 1 King, and if you don't agree or like the terms, you are literally kicked out.
2) If we oppose someone being appointed to a calling, will anything change? Will the person not be put in?
3) If the person is not worthy, why did the Lord inspire and confirm the calling to the Bishop/Church leader anyway?
4) If it is more just to say I support, then why even ask for a dissenting opinion? If I dissent, does that mean I do not need to support?
