"Sweden still have the same basic political structure as Denmark, with a party that is elected with proportional representation.
This leads to multiple parties, and these parties then have to go together in a coalition to form a government.
I don’t get how thou think that a system that works in most democracies can’t work."

Yes, that is how it works NOW - but that's not how you previously said you think it SHOULD work.

You wrote:

"the first rule of any reform should be that any candidate needs to win an absolute majority in order to win, it is hard to imagine a system more unfair then one where the winner becomes the one with the biggest plurality regardless of how big the majority that voted against them were."

Which would mean that in a democracy like Sweden - and I believe Denmark as well - there would not be a government at the moment, since no single party has absolute majority.

What you're suddenly talking about now - parties coming together in a coalition - is the exact opposite of what you wrote before when you demanded absolute majority of a single candidate or party for them to come to power.
