I agree in a club with few members there's not likely to be much disagreement,
but when the treasury gets big and the egos bigger, roberts rules of order allows for
the "just because we say so" crowd to be kept in check by
the true majority....... not those that claim they are "the majority"
when in fact when the vote is taken......they find themselves being...... the "crybabies".

This happens alot in larger clubs, the people that "think" they are
"the majority" find out they are'nt once the vote of the silent majority is taken.

The term "landslide defeat" comes to mind.
