We want to speed up the process, avoid going to conference with Senate. The House of Representatives has added "consensus" as a third option for the nomination of candidates of political parties for election in the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021. This brings the options to three -direct primaries, indirect primaries and nomination by consensus.

Without the consensus option in the House' version of the bill would mean that both chambers would have to raise conference committees to reconcile their differences which could further delay the bi...
