A modest proposal

The Conservatives believe that a hung parliament would be bad for Britain.

There's a simple solution to that.

If they removed themselves from the race then the chances of the result not being clear-cut would drop to near-zero.

But your suggestion would call for Statesmen (more interested in the commonweal than in Political Dominance), who seem to be (sadly) lacking, in the modern world.

I rather like the idea of a hanged Parliament -- but then, I've always felt a certain sympathy/empathy with Guy Fawkes. Failing that, I'd go for electing all-women -- who are generally, in my experience, far more Practical than men.
