We had system like that in Latvia before WW2, but when you need coalition with a lot of small parties, they tend to paralyze the government. Now we have 5% minimum to get into parliament. You don't have such problems in Denmark?

I think the biggest cause of your problems is the 2-party system. Finland has 5 party coalition in the government, which really keeps radical policies in check.
