I think the goal should be so have so much factional diversity you never reach a coalition state. It only degrades into the status quo when politicians see a path to enshrining their ideology into law without compromise. Part of the problem is also that most governments have flawed establishing documents that make it possible for legislatures to put innumerable barriers up against a propositioned bill. It should be much easier to force a proposal to vote and that should always be public record. Politicians love being able to kept their intentions "in committee" forever or on a divided floor where nobody ever calls for cloture. Having a firm record of actionable legislative motions is the last thing anyone wants when they expect a lifelong career on a house floor.
