I’d prefer to return to the original system without parties when you really were voting for an individual.

I don’t see 61 seats total if all of the left-wing parties came together, but they might cut a deal for the pensioners’ party to join in a coalition. In any case, I don’t see a working majority in the mix.

They’ll caucus with either the extreme left or, more likely, the extreme right–and those caucus partners will bolt the instant they get stiffed on something they care enough about to bother with a vote of no-confidence. (And dang, I wish we had a parliamentary mechanism like that in our system–besides the latest Pew poll, that is.)
