  UK has FPTP and had a coalition from 2010 to 2015.It’s unlikely to work in the US where the non-rep/dem parties are basically negligible.

    That’s a good point. Even though the voting system makes it harder, it doesn’t make it impossible.

      Imagine a Parliament of Independents because parties are no longer allowed and all members of Government are elected on their own personal platforms and ideas.
