Nah. We're meant to have an opposition and it's healthy. This Government has a sizable majority so it's not as if it's unable to do anything. A National Government ala WW2 should only be considered during an extreme crisis when there is an existential threat to our existence as a country.
These are challenging economic times and the opposition should be there to question if the Government are handling it correctly, challenge them on the decisions they're making, speak out for those who are impacted the most and so on. If you have a national government representative of Parliament then who in Parliament holds them to account?
