Nonsultation

A specious public consultation on decisions that have already been made. Commenting on some of the outlandish money-saving ideas posted by the public on the British government’s Spending Challenge Web site, Andrew Gilligan wrote in The (London) Telegraph:

All major decisions, and many minor ones – including planning applications – must now, by law, be consulted on. A vast industry has grown up to do it. The purpose of “nonsultation“, however, is almost never to act on the public’s views. It is to manage, manipulate, or suppress them.
