The consensus model of Krause and Hegselmann can be naturally extended to the case in which opinions are integer instead of real numbers. Our algorithm is much faster than the original version and thus more suitable for applications. For the case of a society in which everybody can talk to everybody else, we find that the chance to reach consensus is much higher as compared to other models; if the number of possible opinions Q<=7, in fact, consensus is always reached, which might explain the stability of political coalitions with more than three or four parties. For Q>7 the number S of surviving opinions is approximately the same independently of the size N of the population, as long as Q
