Going to be teaching about electoral rules in European democracies next week, so thanks to everyone reacting to
@simonhix.bsky.social's proposal to change NL's electoral system... Very interesting discussion of important tradeoffs.
NL needs an electoral threshold, eg. 4% (as in Sweden). It would encourage smaller parties to merge, voters to coordinate around medium and larger parties, and make coalition formation easier, governments more stable, and improve governability overall.
Come on guys, Europe needs you to do this!
