I don't consider minority governments to be an inherently bad thing. In theory, it means governing politicians have to play nice with the opposition, and doing what's best for the entire country, rather than pursuing their own agenda.
In theory.
We just had a federal election here in Canada, and the lines between east, centre and west don't appear to have been drawn any clearer. Conservatives in the west, Liberals in the east, and Separatists where they keep all the maple syrup.
Yeah, this is going to be a pip...
