I wish journalists and others would stop denigrating the Bloc. In doing so, they denigrate the people who vote for it. But that's not the point of this post. It's this:
What I would object to, strenuously, would be proportional representation foisted on the nation by such a coalition.
That would cement coalition in our future almost forever.... [M]ajority governments would be rare and coalition governments are compromise governments.
Oh, dear! To have coalition, compromise, the representation in government - not perpetually in opposition - of the majority of voters!
Get with the lingo: majority government should NOT be defined as 'government comprised of members of a single party' but 'government comprised of members that represent the majority of voters'.
Governments - minority or majority - should never be defined in terms of how many political parties they represent. To hell with parties! What about voters?!
