I didn’t want to go into it too much but in Belgium there isn’t a political with more than 25% representation. So each government has to be a coalition of several political parties.
There isn’t a system where the winner takes it all.
A voter in Belgium doesn’t identify itself with one party for life. So we often switch between political parties. Here’s no ‘us against them’ culture.
And because the outrage against other political parties isn’t a thing, it also isn’t a daily thing in the media.

Sounds utopian compared to what we have in the US.
