    It’s not about fewer parties in elections, it’s about fewer parties in Parliament and quickly having a stable government.

    Your link is written by an idiot.

    In Germany you can still vote for a small party. If enough people do, the party gets 5%, or about 32 seats, which are enough MP’s to actually participate in the process without getting burned out.

    We could also start in the Netherlands with 2%, which is 3 MP’s.

    I think 4% (6 MP’s) would be better though.

      OK, if you’re dismissing a source just because it doesn’t fit your preconceived notions, even though it’s written by someone who’s literal job is to research the subject, and provides the numbers to back it up, then I’m not sure what we’re doing here.

        Some people suck at their job.

        It is what it is.

        In any case, Germany will probably have a government within a month, two if things get crazy.

        And that’s cold hard facts.
