is that really what's happening in the world though?

any system of democracy that has PR is more likely to have coalitions of parties in government and coalitions make compromise the norm.

perhaps it's just the USA and the UK where that's happening?

and perhaps that's mostly a media/social media thing, rather than what's actually happening at a local level in the real world?
