      If only the SPD got more votes it’d be your national flag

  If you think this is an effective form of government, you’re insane.

    A country with a government that represents the varied opinions of its populus? No I want two shitty parties so that I don’t have to think, and have almost no real choices in elections.

    Yeah, we all know what a dysfunctional government Denmark has, compared to countries with 2-party systems.

      Yeah but the US runs on a dysfunctional system by design.

    Broad coalition governments have proven to be some of the most stable globally, as well as significantly more representative of the nations they represent.

    I’d love to hear your arguments about what specifically make you think it’s ineffective, and why other popular forms of government don’t have that problem

    Dictatorships have very effective governments.

      Stable, too. At least until the dictator dies.

    Any political party has a variety of “factions” that have different opinions on different topics. The kind of system you’re seeing here is what happens when these “factions” have a lower bar for splitting out and forming their own party. In practice, this means that instead of having a binary or ternary split in the parliament, you get a smoother transition between the extremes, so it’s much easier to find parties that will collaborate.

    If you have only two or three parties, the distance between them will typically be so large that they can’t really collaborate on anything. However, when you have 6-8 parties, you’ll typically be able to find a group of 3-4 parties that are able to form a majority compromise on any given issue. Collaboration becomes more fluid (instead of constant “us vs. them”), compromises become easier, and voters get to express a more nuanced opinion at the polls (not just “left vs. right”, but “I want left-wing tax policies, combined with this specific environmental profile, and these specific stances on education”).

    This only becomes dysfunctional if the parties/politicians are unable to collaborate and compromise effectively. However, countries with a parliament like the one you see here will typically foster politicians that are able to collaborate and compromise. You won’t survive as a politician in this kind of parliament if you’re a hardliner that refuses to budge on anything.

  I guess it’s time to stop doing coalitions for the Danish.
