> In the Netherlands they have proper proportional voting which is considered a good thing. We do but we only have 150 seats, not 510, so you need more votes to get a single seat (this acts as a barrier of 2/3%). However, it is true that you get many small parties in the parliament. Small extremist parties in the parliament is not a problem, as far as I know. Even if there were they can only talk, they can't do anything extremist. Some politicians are pushing to reduce the number of seats to 100.
