The difference is that unlike the people voting outside party lines you actually chose and voted the 3rd party and you can generally assume it’s going to vote the way you expect it to, and since you don’t need the party to necessarily be as big tent as possible you can also ensure more party discipline.
Berlusconi wasn’t the president, he was the prime minister and the ways the two positions are elected are different. Obviously it isn’t an infallable or the best system, it’s better than your current system tho. It is also important that the power is never concentrated on a single person regardless of whether it is elected directly or indirectly. The president shouldn’t be the main focus of an election.
No I mean Single Transferable Vote
