see israel and italy's countless changes of government for the reasons that this is not the case, if you want the BNP and lots of other fringe single interest parties to be able to hold governments to ransom, then proportional representation is the way to go.
Perhaps two good examples, but it is not right that Labour or
the Conservatives can radically change the whole consensus of a nation with fewer than 38% of the votes.
At least if some people vote Communist, BNP, the Government represents the people views.
I recall Denmark have turnouts of 90% plus, because the PR su=ystem caters for voters interests and the nation is not just dominated by the self fulfilling intererest of just two parties.
People will be more interested if the Government reflects their mood, their aspirations, this nearly happened with Blair/ Lib DEms pact to keep the Tories out.
And in some Parts of the Country the 83 Election for Thatcher, where she caught the public mood in middle England and the inner city estates.
