Unstable means each vote matters.

Ideally we'd do away with this bullshit electoral system entirely and make each vote matter by having it be proportional representation.

Until then: Maximum instability = maximum Government accountability.

You actually remove the possibility of accountability if you are drawing the maps so that a party that behaves badly still has a 50% chance of winning.
