Requiring a larger majority than 51% to begin a vote is in fact helpful, not for the fact that it can halt the process of key bills, but that it prevents a stream of bills being railroaded through without due consideration and opinion from the minority. Perhaps, it would be best to reduce the allowable time a bill can sit on the floor under debate without a vote. Therefore, due consideration is given, the time is taken to prepare arguments from the minority, the public can weigh in, yet the majority, if unshifted, can have its opportunity to place the issue to a vote.
