If you want to talk wishy washy governments...think Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrat coalition government....that is what you get with a multi party system.
The current government had to go cap in hand to garner support from the DUP....for the very same reason....a poor electoral system that does not support a majority when there are more than two parties vying for votes.
Now, if this does not make sense to you....I don't know how better to explain it.
