It seems to me that as long as somebody
*strongly*
(strongly meaning not "mumble mumble, I am not very
happy with this...", but heavy unhappiness), there is
no consensus.
That depends on exactly what you mean by "consensus".
Try [[Consensus]].
There actually might be a US/UK English distinction
here.
The OED says that consensus requires unanimity,
You're misreading the OED, it states unanimity of a number of
persons, not however of everyone involved.
