Ah yes. The "ineffectual government" argument. I think an ineffectual government is better than one that is passing legislation even though it isn't supported by half the country. And I say that from both sides... both when the Liberals where in power and now.
With first past the post in a multi-party system, it is not just possible, but PROBABLE that you will have legislation passing that the majority of the nation would reject if asked directly.
