It’s not a perfect system but it’s one that allows a party to push through the change they were voted to bring!
Should a minority of parliament, or the government in general, be able to force through what they think is best?
That seems like the kind of setup that works great until it goes very, very wrong.
It’s not a minority of Parliament though. It requires a majority vote, in two separate sessions, to be forced through (in essence, it takes up to 2 years). It’s not an easy system to abuse at all.
