| Sumario: | The article focuses on the problems associated with the practice of new politics. New politics is a different method involving a learning about consensus, problem-solving, tolerance and empowerment. It does require skills like facilitation, public speaking and bush-fire control, but unless one's psychology is such that self-examination is on the agenda as well, and unless the tell-tale signs of old politics are things that can be put onto the agenda without fissuring the group, then those very things will gradually re-assert themselves and take the group back to square one.
