American primaries and elections are noisy, but the government immediately has a majority. In systems with lots of parties, the noise and chaos starts after the election, when voters have no more influence over what happens. The resulting government can be the opposite of what the majority of voters intended, or have different people in it, than were on the ballot.
American voters determine the result, directly, down to the individual politicians in each seat.
