Except votes for parties who get less than 5% (if running alone) or 8% of votes (if a Coalition) do not count. So that 40% becomes 52% and suddenly the only thing you can do as a minority party is yell.

Rules like that aren't uncommon.
Netherlands is like the one exception that doesn't require parties to win >4-5% of the vote to get into parliament.
And all of these systems are more democratic than what the USA uses.
