Ideally, this polarisation will be identified in a pre-deliberation phase (possibly during the wider engagement process or during stakeholder consultations in the design phase) so that a range of solutions can be explored, such as stakeholder negotiations, before the issue reaches the deliberation stage. However, in some cases, highly emotional polarisation and outrage will emerge during a deliberation and facilitators may need to put the deliberative process on hold to avoid having the ‘fight’ play out in the room.
