Democratic decisions can be taken in two ways: by majority vote and by consensus. Each method has both advantages and disadvantages. Decision-making by vote is fast and transparent. This is the Western way, but its downside is that it ignores minority positions and can result in “mob rule” or “tyranny of the majority.” Taking decisions by consensus has the advantage of taking all minority positions into account. Once such a decision has been reached, it is certain that all will go along with it because their viewpoints have already been considered. The downside, however, is that it takes an awfully long time to reach a consensus with a large number of participants. Thus, consensus is feasible in small gatherings.
