This is the state of affairs we usually have hear and it is quite bad.

What usually happens is the party with the most votes wants to pass a certain
bill no matter the costs, and will make a deal with smaller parties in order to
pass it, paying ANYTHING they demand to them. You end up with a frankenlaw.

The best we have been in recent History was the last time in which big parties
were so low in votes that nobody could add up the votes to build a government.
We spent around a year with no functional government at all. As a result the
economy and general wellbeing in the country rose noticeably. It was headline
material.

That people didn't take the clue and realize we are much better off when
politicians are tied and doing absolutely nothing is depresing.
