"The current political climate of Earth shows us that votes that are
won by narrow margins build resentment among voters, can lead to
instability in the ecosphere, and could be considered harmful to
democracy."

Snicker... I want to vote for this purely to make that sentence part
of our bylaws.

In all seriousness though, I'm in favor of this.  66.666% isn't an
unreasonable bar.  If you can't get 2 out of 3 people to think your
idea makes sense, then it might need work.
