that is most often suicide for a political career and why it rarely happens
"where minority governments can rule" If its a minority government, they didn't win the vote. Ergo what do they care? They will still win with even less votes
they won the vote because the opposition cannot agree on a common policy direction
this is a multi party system unlike what is possible in the united states
If they came out with fewer votes they lost
No mater the "Number of parties"
the opposition has the opportunity to overthrow the minority government, but then they have to agree on a common direction
if people wished for a common direction, they would not vote for parties that cannot agree
If 1 party gets the majority of votes, how is that not winning with a common direction.
Wait, taking this from the direction they are actually voting for a PM, they arn't. They get not say in the long run.
one party almost never does in situations where negative parliamentarism holds
I think it has happened exactly once in the history of Denmark, for example
Hence why Seperation of Powers is important. *Shrugs*

@Mal so negative parliamentarism is the reason why scanavian countries don't have a majority ruling coaltion?
Is UKIP generally considered to be a fringe party? What has been their historical election odds?
MP wise? Not good at all
Yea they are the equivalent of the Independent party of the US. A couple people here or there, but never any real ground
Godspeed to them honestly.
I am really clueless on British politics but sargon's latest videos are pretty enlightening regarding the general dissolution of Brittain
Unless they go full retard or something
That might make them popular

I remember a few years back someone wrote a great article based around that chick who wrote that "just kidding I'm white!" tweet several years before that
Really highlighted how unhinged it all is
If I can find it again I'll post it here
Quillette is kicking ass these days
