Answer:

This is a method where the ruling party uses a system of asking the various sides in an argument to put forward their own ideas and then trying for find a CONSENSUS, which is a agreement that all parties can AGREE with. By getting all sides to contribute their own ideas, the final agreement is built with input from all sides of the question, rather than one group over-ruling all the others, with their power.

Consensus is a hall mark of a mature nation's ability to make good laws with agreement from all sides of the political spectrum.
