The self interest of both the Tories and the Labour parties when they have large majorities has been, imho, detrimental to this country too often in my lifetime.
if you count a succesful government meaning the voting system works then yeah maybe.

but as a democratic system its a failure because only part of the country is democratic during general elections. More than half is safe seats, its not even a minority problem.
