So my question is will this create giant forks and if so, how will it be determined which one is "Bitcoin" and which ones are not?
So far its quite puzzling to me. Thanks.
With Classic possible fork, it could happen 28 days after 750/1000 blocks signed as BIP102.
I said it "could" because miners aren't forced to make bigger blocks, anyway after these 28 days Classic nodes will start accepting bigger blocks.

Bitcoin then (after the possible fork) will be the chain with more work.

So it will be automatically democratic?

I don't think that "democratic" is the right word.
On Bitcoin it isn't 1 opinion = 1 vote.

The value of the opinions of some worth more than others, but anyway everything is market driven.
Someone, even if he is someone with a huge following, he can't "force" other to follow his will if this is really against their interests.
Moreover, if he tries that, users will just move on other currencies.

Both nodes and miners (but nodes come first) should want this change.

I would call Bitcoin largely meritocratic. Miners that produce valid blocks quickly have a larger vote on the system than those that produce invalid blocks or at a relatively slower rate.

There isn't as direct of a metric as mining hashrate, but one could say the same meritocratic influence exists for large exchanges and their largest customers, etc. The largest traders will be able to influence exchanges more so than smaller traders. Large exchanges influence miners and other participants that they conduct on-chain transactions with, etc. Developers that write code that is accepted by other devs and ultimately users get a stronger 'vote' based on their work, etc.

Bitcoin Knots v0.13.0.knots20160814
https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/blob/0.13.x-knots/doc/release-notes.md
https://bitcoinknots.org/files/0.13.x/0.13.0.knots20160814/


Also, a part of the market is proposing the idea of forking/forks without a voting/trigger system:
http://bitcoinforks.org/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Btcfork

The main rule of these possible future forks is that all of them will maintain the current blockchain until a block X, then they will fork.
So holders will have the same amount of coins on all blockchains, at the time of the fork. (the current and the new one)
These proposed forks will also maintain intact the main economic rules, as the 21M amount of bitcoin and the current inflation velocity.
