We've already seen with the coalition that one side or the other is claiming responsibility for the good stuff and denying accountability for the bad, then of course there's the tit for tat blocking of initiatives by one side or the other for reasons of political expediency.

Maybe there's no perfect system but if more people bothered to vote and did so other than on purely partisan lines, we'd have better representation and some accountability. As it is there are loads of MP's who only have to turn up on the day to get voted in time and time again. A good kick up the backside every so often wouldn't hurt any of them.
