[HerenIstarion]

Well, I admit I'm stretching things a bit all the way, but Galadriel is going away she is oldest lady present, and she takes away (death) all things she has given (or gave birth to). I.e birth = time preservation/stainless Lorien, taking away = 'I will diminish and go into the West. But with this "I will go" she takes Lorien away not from her only, but from those she had given it to in its time - from elves living there. Was there general referendum? No, the whole of the choice lies with Galadriel only. She is like Goddes to her own people, forming their fate to its ultimate end, she decides for them would they fade here or go to Aman.
