Let's have a forced coalition government

You know what would be an awesome election outcome? A seat distribution where you need three parties to have a majority, but it can be any three parties. So no one party can pass or block a piece of legislation, and no one party single-handedly holds balance of power.

I don't know if this is even mathematically possible (maybe we'd need five parties to make it happen? Maybe we'd need a seat distribution with a small number of Green or independent MPs who somehow don't hold balance of power themselves?)
