More fringe kingmakers can be rather dangerous.
Ranked ballots would be better.More fringe kingmakers can be rather dangerous.
I guess Iceland, Norway and Denmark are extremist countries now.
The fringe king maker is the already the president of the United States under first-past-the-post.

Nope, the alternative vote funnels the votes to the 2 big parties creating the illusion of choice.
The single transferable vote is what you want. It’s ranked and proportional.
More people don’t necessarily get more done. Try to keep a Parlament well below 1000 people. Otherwise this checks out.
This means more mps representing a riding instead of just one.
Yeah. Then you quickly get there. Math Could Help Set Right the Sizes of National Legislatures - AIP.ORG https://share.google/WUsefklhgUgQ0j29R
Implementing proportional representation may add just a few more seats in parliament so it divides out properly.
Proportional has some cons as well. Weaker governments and more coalitions.
If you consider compromises a con that is.Nope, governments actually last a little bit longer under proportional representation and what’s wrong coalitions when the most popular party often does not win a majority of the votes. You do have the right to force your policy down everyone’s throats with 39% of the vote.
Tell the Belgians and the Dutch that 😄 I couldn’t with a quick web search find anything supporting that, but if you mean that governments sit two periods in a row more often, I believe you.
I don’t understand what you’re saying about coalitions
