  1. The coalition is problematic to say the least. It's like putting pro-worker and pro-bussiness into the same government, or like putting pro-spending/high-tax to low-spending/low-tax into the same government. Their goals along party lines are often incompatible and compromise is hard to find. If they not find a middle-ground things begin to stagnate and people see that and perceive it as bad because it isn't moving at all. And voters will express this dissatisfaction at the ballot box. Law-wise this doesn't have to be bad assuming the original situation is not problematic but already okay. But it looks like standstill. Bussiness actually likes it they hate change because it impacts their daily routine they established they want stability and predictability. This is the thing with Proportional Represenation (PR) you are encouraged to compromise. If not you stagnate and will be voted out in exchange for parties who are willing to compromise. The law-making of this kind of governing is much moderate not so extreme as under models when one party controls everything and once the next party comes in they revert everything back and start from scratch again.
