I've also heard that parliamentary democracies work better if there's a size requirement for parties-- otherwise tiny minority opinions get too much influence.
I believe this is mostly only a problem (and therefore the size requirement is only a solution) in countries with proportional representation. Britain's system of first-past-the-post by district seems to work well in encouraging the formation of a few large stable parties.
