Right now there’s an incentive to juuust hit a majority in order to maximize a party’s own appointments, so political systems with high fragmentation have government stability problems. Would there be a way to work around this? Could a parliament maybe do some of the work of a government directly, for example?

    Are you saying FPTP is a fairer system?. Honest question. I don’t understand your overall statement I guess.

      No, FPTP just has different issues. Like unrepresentitiveness, which as a minority voter in a safe riding I personally hate. Or the fact that if something goes wrong with your 2 parties it’s really bad (cough America cough).

      Some of those party list countries in practice have a snap election like every year, for reference. Otherwise it sounds great.
