Concensus decision making This was developed by the Quakers originally, but similar principles have been used since pre-history. But as I pointed out earlier, large groups tend to fragment. Concensus is NOT the same as voting. Nor does it mean unanimity.
Groups sometimes think they are using concensus but revert to voting when they cant all agree.
When we vote, we are still using dualism - here is one choice, or another. The choice we will make is the one of the majority. Thus the majority wields power over the minority. The ethics of integrity however, give no-one the right to wield power over another. With concensus, the story is different.
