Which is why parliamentary systems are so much more stable than first-past-the-post.

They let voters express their preferences, and leave building the coalitions up to the politicians. Instead of expecting voters to understand that their preferences are expressed during the primaries, and the general election is just to pick which coalition wins.

It is crazy that no one in America is promoting a Constitutional amendment to fix the basic governance.

I think these are somewhat orthogonal.

You can't have first-past-the-post in a parliamentary system. But yeah, that's the one dependency they have, otherwise, those are independent. You can even have weird districtal systems that look parliamentary and use first-past-the-post.

Either way, majoritarian elections are a plague and must be avoided as much as possible.

		Isn't the UK FPTP in a parliamentary system?
