Joint Meeting
Is "Unanimous Agreement" Feasible?
Having the slimmest margin of majority between the two groups, The Blue Group has the power to call and lead any joint sessions. They were quick to take charge of this meeting and to make sure they controlled the narrative. After all, they wanted full credit for announcing the solution for saving the future of the country.
As a member of The BlueGroup, they even invited the head of the government to address the combined session to share their findings and take credit for the proposed path. Standing at the podium, front and center between the two groups, the leader proclaimed, "The future of our country is a cube." The members of The Blue Group, all seated on to the right side of the central aisle, stood and cheered the announcement while The Red Group remained glued to their chairs to the left d=side of the aisle.
There was much excitement and commotion on the floor as one member of The Blue Group after another; stood before the joint session to applaud the leadership and to voice support of the newly proposed Cube Theory. The Blue media was quick to announce that a new plan had been announced that would save the country. The supporters of The Blue Group within the general population rejoiced.
As the commotion of The Red Group's announcement waned, the head of The Blue Group - the minority leader, if you will - asked, and was granted, an opportunity to address the joint session. The minority leader explained that The Red Group, too, had been given some similar insight but that the key to the future of the country was clearly a sphere. At this announcement, every member of The Red Group rose from their chairs in unison with applause and chants of agreement and support of the Sphere Theory. The members of The Blue Group sat motionless and quiet. The Red media followed this proclamation with their own announcement that The Red Group had released their concept for saving the country. The supporters of The Red Group within the general population rejoiced.
As can be imagined, both groups accused the other group of lying, of trying to mislead the general population, of purposefully proposing ideas that would, in fact, be detrimental to the future of the country. The people within the general population had no idea of the details of either the Cube Theory or the Sphere Theory but they not only lashed out at the other government group, but also the members of the general population that supported the other group, even their closest friends and immediate family members.
After much discussion, arguments, and even name-calling, a member of one of the groups, and it matters not which one, addressed the joint session. They pointed out that there was more to the message each group had been presented, that maybe there was a need to determine "the underlying meaning of the object" to more clearly address the concept and to win over the other side. Both groups agreed that they should return to their own groups and determine the next steps.
