"So many parties! This is not healthy." (Ged)
-- Aye, but that is the unfortunate consequence of a government operating within a proportional representative system. Ideally, we'd like to see two or three solid parties like the CDU or SPD in Germany that form the coalition "core" - and Serbia is looking have DS and SNS be that core. But like Germany, third-tier coalition makers/breakers are always needed to pass the 50% threshold. Unlike Germany however, Serbian politics needs two, three, or even four parties to work with. DS is currently operating withing a ZES coalition and still needed 3 or 4 more parties to counter the SRS-DSS coalition in 2008.
Two possible remedies could be streamlining the smaller minority parties into one larger (yet still small) minority party, or expanding the DS and SNS to be more civic-based rather than ethnic based. Whatever the possible remedy, politics in Serbia has always lived up to the joke: "two Serbs, three parties."
