I think vote blocking and anti-compromising could also be a side-effect of the majoritarian system. Our parties are encouraged in elections to be two entities straddling the center. But in Congress the opposition party is always biding time for when their party gets control. Why pass a bill that you disagree with when you have the chance of changing the whole game next election and getting what you really want?
