In Denmark we have a multi party system, and the government is a coalition of the parties that are represented in parlaiment. Often the government is a minority government and relies upon one or more of the other parties to get laws passed. Sometimes coalitions with similar interests appear, and as long as they have a majority they can pass laws. This system has the advantage that minority views are not only heard but also have votes. And since politics is a game of agreements, coalitions and I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine even small parties have a chance of getting legislation passed if they are willing to compromise on something else. It equates to more consensus seeking legislation, and an often vocal minority that actually has political influence.
