    A majority government doesn’t guarantee stability beyond the surface, and if our own internal issues don’t also get sufficiently addressed, we’re only buying 4 years which may not be enough time to stem the flow of populism which a prolonged economic downturn with a continually faltering safety net is a perfect recipe for a conservative majority.

    I doubt the American situation would be resolved within 4 years, but giving one party all the power could sow a lot more discontent amongst ourselves than a government losing support and triggering an early election which could be for the better (again, even with the American situation, a majority government wouldn’t guarantee anything other than buying 4 years which might not be what’s needed if things go past that timeframe)
