Egalitarian Structure or Consensus?

As a part of the autonomous left where I’m from, my first experience was using consensus to reach decisions. I still think this way is vastly superior to delegating decision making to “representatives”, which is common in most organizations
and political parties. But I still think consensus has several defects, and that it based partly on misconceptions. Especially the notion that consensus is “more horizontal” than voting on decisions.
