Editing Proportional representation (section)

===Potential lack of balance in presidential systems===
In a [[presidential system]], the president is chosen independently from the parliament. As a consequence, it is possible to have a [[divided government]] where a parliament and president have opposing views and may want to balance each other's influence. However, the proportional system favors government of coalitions of many smaller parties that require compromising and negotiating topics.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} As a consequence, these coalitions might have difficulties presenting a united front to counter presidential influence, leading to a lack of balance between these two powers. With a proportionally elected House, a President may strong-arm certain political issues.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

This issue does not happen in a [[parliamentary system]], where the prime-minister is elected indirectly by the parliament itself. As a consequence, a divided government is impossible. Even if the political views change with time and the prime minister loses their support from parliament, they can be replaced with a [[motion of no confidence]]. Effectively, both measures make it impossible to create a [[divided government]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}
