    In every country the biggest party would be the one that would at least get a first shot at forming a government.

      And if the leader of the second biggest party would rather work with the third biggest party?

      Then the biggest party could well remain out of government, because someone decided that a different coalition would form the government.

      The virtue of a two party popular vote is that once the votes are counted there is a clear winner determined by the voters, and nobody can change the winner behind the scenes.
