Minority report is a term that is frequently used to describe a dissenting opinion that is expressed during a group decision-making process. However, there are several synonyms that can be used instead of this term. Some of the other ways to describe such an opinion include minority opinion, dissenting view, unpopular sentiment, opposing perspective, critical voice, and different standpoint. Each of these synonyms expresses the same idea, which is that someone has a different point of view than the majority and is willing to express it. These different word choices can help to add variety to written and spoken communication and can make it easier to avoid repetition.
