I mean you can have Open List Proportional Voting, where candidates then get gove representative roles in those proportions… They have proportional systems in Germany and Japan, and people have to work together to get things done.
The system in Germany is currently in the process of breaking down and caving in to the (far) right.
That’s what people are voting for, the electoral system might not be the issue, the way medias cover the far right might be. By law in French Belgium the far right doesn’t get live media presence and what they say needs to be filtered to remove the lies and not report them, the result is that the far right isn’t much of an issue over there.
