The Barisan Nasional might just do away with its colossal consensus system and replace it with a simple majority system in making decisions.

BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the BN constitution should be amended so that all decisions can be made using a majority vote against the consensus system practiced now.
“If a coalition party does not agree to a proposal then it will not be pursued.
“I, as the BN Secretary suggest that BN review and amend the BN Constitution by using a simple majority, I have informed Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who is also BN chairman, of this matter,” he said after the launch of the 21st General Assembly of the All Malaysian Indian Progressive Front Party (IPF) in Seri Kembangan, near here, today.
Tengku Adnan said this in response to a request by IPF president M.Sambanthan in his speech at the party gathering that BN receive IPF as a component party.
Meanwhile, Sambanthan said other BN component parties will sideline IPF if it is not accepted as a BN component party thus hampering efforts by the party to campaign well in the next election.
“IPF also urged party members to be appointed as senators, director of government companies and as council members of local authorities,” he said at the gathering which was attended by more than 700 delegates and representatives from other parties.
Sambanthan said, IPF had 26 Supreme Council members and more than 100,000 party members in 600 branches nationwide.
