It might sound good on paper but I think in practice you would have various ways of exploiting the system or the system breaks down (what if say the left party has spent all its points fighting against tax cuts so now it doesn't have enough points to increase welfare and Healthcare programs or vice versa with the right party).

Chaos in law-making is probably worse than the disaster of two-party first-past-the-post.
