I think we will have to disagree on the matter of stronger parliament as I don't believe a system of gridlock where a lot of legislation isn't passed helps stabilise a government or keep it together.

The less legislation the better, since it invariably infringes upon freedom and the rights of the people. Personally, I love gridlock. Better no law than a bad one. The best days are those when Congress is on recess.
