Excellent. So, would you be able to spill the beans how the coalitions are formed between so different parties? What is exactly happening when it comes to the important votes and the coalition should work out the solution and not to break apart? How the so-called "interests of the voters" are being "protected" by those who so-called "compromise"? In a nutshell, the most powerful parties in such system are the smallest parties! (That would effectively address the "fair representation" claim.) The small parties' politicians could switch and form coalitions with either of the more influential parties and get the most of it personally. I've seen that happening: a politician dodged contacting on the phone with either of the influential parties' representatives and waited until his aides were working hard to secure a better deal with both parties at the same time. You're saying that way is better?
