Humiliating coalition climbdown over 55% rule

Yesterday Nick Clegg announced a major coalition climbdown by making it possible for a simple majority of MPs to dismiss parliament (Nick Clegg retreats on no-confidence votes).

On the positive side it is at least reassuring that our lords and masters are willing to respond to widepsread criticism.

But isn't it extremely concerning that this highly educated elite lacked the foresight to realize that a government that couldn't command a majority would effectively be unable to function, they would be useless but immovable.
