> where it's entirely possible to screw the country with slightly less than a majority (or even plurality)

I'm afraid that also applies to the UK's antiquated electoral system. Conservatives got 43.6% of the vote share, and they are screwing the country (if you think that Brexit, and particularly the hard Brexit they are heading for, counts).
