> The way it is implemented in Europe gives two terrible results: You mean EU parliament or european countries in general? Because there are some(e.g. germany) where you have two votes, one for a direct candidate im your district which can get elected independently, and one for a party, to also give smaller parties a chance, which is a neat compromise. On the other hand, if you have e.g. 2 big parties and several small ones, the small ones can still make a difference when creating a coalition with one of the larger ones. Of course, there will be small parties only "receiving salaries", but tbh there will be people like that in the bigger parties, too.
