Abstract: In this paper we investigate a model (based on the idea of the outflow dynamics), in which only conformity and anticonformity can lead to the opinion change. We show that for low level of anticonformity the consensus is still reachable but spontaneous reorientations between two types of consensus ("all say yes" or "all say no") appear.
