Democracy by its very nature isn't really that stable because it allows public views from all sides, which is always tricky to get them all working well together, but it's the best system we have compared to the alternatives when it come to giving the people a voice, but with so many voice, stability was never going to be its strong point, but compared to the alternatives, it's a far better system.
The only real flaws I see is that there needs to be more transparency on everything governments are doing with the voters, basically, there's too much of a disconnect from the voters and the ones in powers and it's creating a divide of mistrust, in other words, if governments actually listen to the people and actually did what they wanted, things would be a lot calmer in the west now, and this is a western thing with the far right in Europe, to what's going on in the US, the pattern is the same, lack of trust from voters in the system.

It's a way of representing more of the views of the people, hence proportional representation compared to many other democracies that group most of the people into 2 or so political views, whiles any vote for a third views, ends up being a wasted vote, basically the US and the UK usually groups people into fewer camps whereas a lot of European countries have multiple options that are credible for voters.
On the surface, it looks more chaotic, but it's more democratic as it listens to a wider range of voters concerns, it also forces governments and parties to compromise more, compared to the US or UK which is more like a winner's take all, which ignores a lot of the voters concerns because they are playing to their base.
This is also a reason why I think it's crazy how they say one country is a democracy and another isn't, it's not as simply as that and countries should be rated on a score of 1 to 100 in how democratic the system is in representing the people, some are more than others.
