The question makes it sound like there would be a dozen parties elected - all fighting over control. There are already a dozen parties. With thresholds there would still be major parties with larger numbers of votes and small representation from other parties. And if people are voting for multiple parties then they are voicing their policy wishes and major parties who want to remain in power will adjust their policies to satisfy the voters. Misleading question

I believe it would be beneficial have more parties and a system that encourages more respectful dialogue between them, collaboration and compromise to achieve better outcomes.

What a lame question? How about asking if we are satisfied with a Trump Party and a Hillary Party? The establishment does not want people to be represented by MPs that reflect their views so limit the conversation to direct the results
