I'm not afraid of a hung parliament because...

Reason #94

See this. If you like it, please spread it around.

Why have the Germans had hung parliaments since 1949?

Because their system was set up to prevent one party gaining overall control with less than overwhelming support.

Why was their system set up that way?

Because one party did.
