> Some places have explicit quotas for different ethnic or religious groups as a compromise to avoid civil war

That leads to very dysfunctional outcomes due to obvious reasons. When you vote for the same party/candidate just because they belong to the same religion/ethnicity (and such seats are very easy to monopolize) they a freehand to due to whatever they want. So what if they are exceptionally corrupt or incompetent? It’s not like your are going to vote for other side..
