Secondly, the paper criticises deliberative democracy by showing the problems associated with the implementation of procedures, without considering the philosophical background of the issue under discussion. The article concludes with the presentation of an extremely rare application of the procedures of deliberative democracy in Poland, and the troubles connected with its realisation.
