I understand the Netherlands has had a nightmare due to similar conditions.

If you don't like a party doing what it wants the best solution would be two houses of parliament or similar, as it is with a hung parliament a lot of legislation wouldn't leave first base or would be severely mangled.

I wouldn't say the Netherlands has had a nightmare due to similar conditions. Politics over the last 10 years have been somewhat turbulent, but generally speaking Dutch politics is quite stable. Due to PR there is never a single party in power, and generally politics tends to be more consensus based, which I think is a good thing (and not an obstacle to getting legislation on the books). Another good thing is that people don't keep harping back to whatever a party did in the 70s or 80s to prove their point that a certain party is inherently evil. It ****es me off endlessly in the 'debate' here.
