The common example for the "would this even work as a parliament" is the EU parliament. It has 705 seats, and is filled with people coming from ±150 different parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_political_parties_in_Europe_by_pancontinental_organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_political_parties_in_... It has a very performant track record. It is not organised as your typical parliament, and has a lot of structure to make this work, such as organising in groups which mostly bridge elections. Of course, these are mostly seasoned politicians. But I reckon a similar structure would work for a sortition based parliament.
