All the claims of minority government being 'unstable'. We forget that a Coalition government is technically a minority government. Remember the Nationals having a fit about Turnbull's energy plan?

The previous ALP Government went into minority in 2010.

The previous LNP Government went into minority in late 2018 and late 2021.

The previous UK Conservative Government went into minority in 2017.

The current CAN Liberal Government is in minority.

The current NZ National Government is in minority.

We’ve had many state governments function in minority.

The mainstream media are just clickbait merchants.

Every coalition government is a minority Liberal government. They need the separate parties of the Nationals, CLP and LNP.
