Happens all the time. People vote for representatives that assign different priorities to different subjects and those representatives form voting blocks accordingly.
And that party would control 34% of the seats in the legislative voting body. That's what is known as a "minority".
If you don't understand how proportional representation works, there are resources online.
The remaining 89% of the seats would not be able to pool their votes?
It would allow people to actually vote for a party that closer represents their actual viewpoints. I for one do not think it would be too hard to figure out, but then again I think well of the US electorate in general.
Well. We have periodic elections in this country. The people decide and sometimes they overwhelmingly reject a particular party and create a long standing majority. It’s the democratic process. What kind of government do you want an authoritarian one party rule ?
Long standing rule , depending what that is measured in can basically mean one party rule for the seen future. In your own state California Democrats have become a one party ruling government. However when you get away from the coast and the cities there is actually red to California but they have been shut out for the forseen future. Which actually creates a urban rules over all situation and can you see urban California becoming less liberal if anything the trend is go farther to the left?
No offense, but the scenarios you presented made no bloody sense.
No offense either, but you do not make any bloody sense. It's really not that hard to figure out if you put your mind to it.

In the thirteen years the Weimar Republic was in existence, some forty parties were represented in the Reichstag. This fragmentation of political power was in part due to the peculiar parliamentary system of the Weimar Republic, and in part due to the many challenges facing German democracy in this period.---https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_political_parties
Again do you see how well that worked out? ^^^^
