Other than those with serious persecution complexes relating to Labour I doubt that anyone is happy with the current situation.
Effective government needs effective opposition.

Agreed.
I think that the reason Corbyn is doing so well in the leadership contest is that he is the only candidate I've seen that is not spouting the same Tory-Lite stuff that Tony Blair introduced, and Gordon Brown and Ed Milliband just blindly followed.
I think a lot of the Labour membership realise that that is not going to work with the electorate, as the Tories have done a good job of blaming the previous administration for the state of the economy.
Regardless of the party on power, I believe you are right. Our system of government works best if there is an effective opposition. Unfortunately, in their current state, neither the Liberal Democrats nor Labour are offering this.
