Maybe doing away with Robert's Rules style bullshit would help some. Everything about the manner in which congress operates is basically designed for partisan gridlock. All sorts of organizations today realize this and use neutral facilitation and better open discussion and decision processes. Under congressional rules, members have to propose bills first rather than agree about problems and then discuss solutions and come to consensus.
Also, score voting would solve a lot: http://rangevoting.org/ http://rangevoting.org/
- philwelch 12y agoThe business of Congress isn't done on the floor of Congress. What happens on the floor of Congress is split between theatre and holding votes that the respective party whips already know the outcome of. The business of Congress is done in closed door meetings behind the scenes.
