I tend to agree I think. It seems to me to be A Good Thing that we are witnessing our putative leaders in an attempt to compromise, rather than the usual process of Kill! Crush! Destroy!

What'll be needed is a change of mind-set on the part of most of the electorate. And most of the press will be firmly set against allowing that to happen.

The press think they'll hate coalition government because, compromise? Meh.

In reality, they'll learn to love the weeks of high drama after each election.

Although on the third hand, Murdoch's going to hate it. Having a dupoloy makes it easy to stroke the right people. Having a true multi-party system makes lobbying a lot harder.
