All claiming the same thing simply makes them all look fools, which IMO is no bad thing.
How did the "balanced parliament" thing work in practice? Did it, as the fear-mongers (of /all/ parties) try to push, mean that nothing got done at all, or did they actually cooperate?
We're having the AV referendum next month, and one thing the power-hungry (again, in all parties) are saying that it will result in more 'hung' parliaments (a good thing IMO, hang the lot of them). I on the other hand would like to see all parliaments having no one (or group) who can force their policies through. Although when all of them are leaning the same way it doesn't really matter much...
