It is only a ‘hung’ parliament if you start from the premise that politics must be adversarial. If politics was based on compromise, then the fact that one party or coalition cannot achieve 50% of the seat would not be a problem. In fact, the fact that in most democratic systems, a voting block of >50% has unchecked power to pass laws is a problem. It means that the minorities can expect that their concerns will never be addressed, because the majority has no need to.
