"The late Margaret Thatcher had a strong view about consensus. She called it: 

'The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects."

On the one hand, I can see her point, and on the other I see how she earned her reputation for ruthless antipathy  toward democratic process.  (Thanks Alex).
