Some folk might call it a balanced parliament. After all with the 'winner takes all' system, you can have the wishes of almost one half ignored.

In New Zealand, three times in about 15 years, we had the situation where the governing party got more seats than the opposition, but the opposition party got a great majority of the votes. Hence the move to a MMP system (Multi Member Proportional Representation) Where one half of the parliament is elected on a 'seat' basis, and the other half is elected on a 'party list' basis. It seems to work well, but maybe a little fine tuning is still required.
