The is that there are three blocks in a system designed for 2.

This means no possibility of a majority that is required to pass a budget.

The current government is essentially the middle between the Far right and the right, which may not hold because that would mean the far right has to admit they're not that different (same economics, more racism) from the right wing everyone hates.

The left wing alone is not large enough to have a majority and can't ally with the right wing because the right wing won't budge on tax increases for the or more public support for the poor.
