I'm not sure which countries you have in mind when you talk about 'the five most healthy and stable governments'. They might be 'stable' because no-one can ever change anything.

Not surprised you can see nothing wrong with our broken democracy. Change when gradual is still change, but the benefits are in long term planning. Rather than lurching from election to election spending half the time undoing what the previous incumbents did, screwing too much up in the process.
Consensus government means people can choose what suits them, rather than choosing X because they think Y is worse, but not really approving of X either.

Arrrrggggggghhhhhh!!
The 2011 Alternative Vote (AV) Referendum was on a system which, by David Cameron's own admission, is often less proportional than FPTP. If AV had been used in 2015 it would have given the Conservatives an even larger majority on the same vote share (according to analysis by the Electoral Reform Society).
