| As proponents of consociationalism tell us, full majoritarian democracy may not be realistic in deeply divided societies in which minorities are unwilling to submit themselves to the will of the majority, but consociationalism may equally be unviable if majorities see it as a way of perpetuating imperial rule by using relatively small majorities to thwart national independence. The controversy was downplayed and almost praised as representing the BN's consociationalism at its best. As a result, the role of education entered into a state of political moratorium within the boundaries of the 1946 National Pact (15) which accentuated consociationalism as a "fair weather model" (16) of political settlement or a sort of "live and let live" pattern of multi-communal coexistence. |
