Small party holding balance of power

Comments on Kenneth Wiltshire “Dangerous hands to be holding balance of power”, 23/07/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/dangerous-hands-to-be-holding-balance-of-power/story-fn59niix-1225895823244
While that happens if a small party holds the balance of power, why the main governing political party don't and can't be more flexible to be a little more genuine to maximise its policy achievement by willing to having both the main opposition party and the small party on board to develop its policies?

If the government of the day is interested in having the small party on board to accommodate its demands, then surely it should also have the main opposition on board if the opposition's stance is better than the small party's, shouldn't it?

The implication is that the government, while hampered by its minority as opposed to majority in the house, needs to be more pragmatic and inclusive and be less ideological.

That is not necessarily bad and in fact may be good for the nation.
