Bad Election results in New Zealand and Germany

We had elections on the weekend ( as any election should be) and the same governments look set to continue.

This is bad. Parties who stay in power for too long get tired, lose energy, run out of ideas etc. you need to have a turnover of Government after two terms to rectify this.

The Christian Democrats look set to remain in power in Germany but with a different coalition. the Nationals look set to continue in New Zealand but in a coalition. What is worse Winston Peters who has a very undistinguished life in NZ politics looks set to choose the government.

Both nations have ridiculous electoral systems. They should adopt the Australian Two part preferred voting system.
