Instability trap

The electoral system of simple proportional representation was an unnecessary and dangerous trap that was dictated by the Left’s ideological fixations.

Under the new electoral law, coalitions need to be considered, as the high percentage needed to form a single-party government has become increasingly harder to attain, all across Europe.

Basically, though, simple proportional representation is a recipe for disaster in a country that does not have a culture of cooperation or smaller parties that can ably contribute something positive to its governance. Citizens want stability, not adventures.
