The 66% sounds better for dissolution, agreed. AAUI, Parliament can always be dissolved by Act of Parliament, so a simple majority in both houses will get it done, but with much more hassle and scrutiny.

[andrewducker]

Well, given 14 days of no coalition being formed it will be dissolved anyway, so probably no need for an act to be passed.

Yup - and that's not much more governmentlessness than we have with general election periods at the moment.

[andrewducker]

Exactly! Nor much worse than the time we spent post-election this time around.
