The Importance of Groupthink in Cabinet Discussions

The Chilcott Approach puts its primary emphasis upon political expertise within the Cabinet. The report lists up 1.11 different occasions on which Mr Blair should have made a statement or invited discussion at Cabinet. And particularly is concerned with the ways in which those who don't have a departmental stake can be invited to give their viewsUpon the situation. He brings out the notion of groupthink. In the report a few times he mentions that as a problem in situations where there are only those who have a strong individual involvement within an issue brought into discussions. I actually wrote a piece in 2003 about why groupthink wasn't the problem. But he does actually do it in those terms in the report itself
