Does anyone think it would improve gameplay if it was a little harder to repeal a WA resolution than it is to pass one? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me almost every single repeal that is introduced passes, I can't remember the last time I've seen a repeal of anything shot down.

Repeals having a good chance of passing has more to do with the ability to present arguments in a repeal which were not as well presented when the original resolution was at vote. Most people sadly don't look beyond the voting page, where only one side of an issue is presented: the author's. All counter arguments are available on the forum for those interested, and I'm convinced those are summarily skipped by most voters. And so a repeal comes along and then those same voters go "hey, that's a good argumentation too!" and vote to repeal the same thing they just as willingly approved not too long before.
Increasing the yes/no margin (for example) won't alter that effect, and won't even counter it. It would merely mean we'd have more stuff left on the books which in all reasonableness should be repealed and improved upon.
