Pretty much.  We really don't do revolution or street protestsdown here in New Zealand.  In the 80's, when our government betrayed us by campaigning on one platform then pursuing completely different policies once elected, we screamed and pouted, and then voted to replace them.  The replacements naturally did exactly the same thing.  So we changed the electoral system to ensure a state of permanent minority government, in the hope that minor coalition parties would act as a check on that sort of behaviour.  So far, it seems to have worked quite handily.  Unfortunately, we had to live through 12 years of betrayal to get there...
