Allowing government to move quickly and without restriction is not something that many would see as a good thing.
Government deadlocks are not always a bad thing, either, particularly when the issue is controversial. I'd argue that it is far better to have an issue debated and for compromises to occur, than to have one party's solution shoved quickly into place. This includes so-called emergencies, which are often excuses to go after civil liberties.
And the lack or party disaplin means that you have to make lots of dubious deals to dole out pork or to pander to fringe extremists. Oh and in most places adding unrealted riders to bills for pork is banned.

I am sure Rep or Dem whips visiting the HOC must be jelous of the power that their counterparts have.
