Not strickly true though.
I guess we do not know what would happen in this country in the event of a hung Parliament but several other countries have collection governments, Germany being one, which have strong governments and economies.
The culture shock could hamper progress at first but if the system was used to it, if we had PR, then it can be a strong government. The notion that this leads to weak governments is simply false and only promoted by those who wish to scare people of voting for any party which are not one of the big two.
