Agreed. Given the current state of the political landscape,
we are going to see minority governments for a long time to
come. No one party seems to have enough support to get a
majority, and it doesn't look like that will change any time
soon.

Again I agree. With the current minority government, the
legislative is being inform from all points of the political
spectrum, and the result is better laws. Not perfect laws.
But better laws than the ones we would get with a majority.
The one proviso I would put on this is that we as a nation
don't want a minority government that has to rely on the
support of a single opposition party to stay in power. When
any of the three opposition parties can support the
government, we don't get government by the kingmaker as some
clown on the government side of the house sells the country
to stay in the PM's office.
