# Constitutional law expert professor Pierre de Vos says the problem with the Coalition Bill is that it targets the symptoms instead of the root cause of governance dysfunction and instability in local government. The bill seeks to provide a legislative framework for the formation of coalition governments. In an opinion piece for News24, De Vos says the bill contains vague and difficult-to-enforce provisions that will lead to a flurry of litigation. He suggests a change to the electoral system to try to create a system with fewer malfunctioning political parties.
