I'd like it if we didn't even begin to consider this line of argument ("it
would probably already pass"), and I'm glad that we're remaining open to debate
here (and it should kept open for much, much longer).
If this aims to be a ~democratic process, then the approach cannot simply be
"enough people are in agreement, done". An essential goal of a democracy or a
process that attempts to emulate/imitate is not to simply assert the interests
of the majority, but protect the interests of the minorities - or, in this
case, those in opposition.
