It would seem better if, at least, the agenda were set by the most moderate person.
For example, the lawmaking body could elect the agenda-setter via 3-2-1 voting or STAR voting or some other sensible many-choice single-winner election method, with all lawmakers being candidates on the ballot. The winner of this process would probably be more moderate than the typical winning-coalition leader.
The theory is that this one person is most representative of the governed, and should cleverly optimize the agenda to minimize distortion.
