@Common. One of the main problems with that great thing about your country is that you have two choices, so when you kick one shitty government out you end up with the other shitty government in. You never get to vote smaller parties into coalition when you lose faith in the big parties, it really balances out far better and makes the big parties less bloated and corrupt. Its disadvantage is you end up with some rather unstable coalitions occasionally.
Politically I believe that Australia does have a far better system (PR is flawed, but nowhere near as flawed as what you have).
