Yes, there are many political conflicts. The system encourages them.
Perhaps this fact can be explained by studying the two largest parties in power at any given time. In any election, either the dominant Leftist or the dominant Rightist party is likely to garner a plurality of votes. The President asks the leader of that party to set up a government.
The second largest party is not likely to help run the country or to create unity. To the contrary - they will invest all of their effort and energy searching for ways to topple the government.
Don't look for constructive criticism or issues. The opposition will bad-mouth the current government at every opportunity and imply that they would have done the job better. Of course, they can't do the job better. That's why they were voted out of office. However, they hope that the populace will forget that detail.
Bad-mouthing is as easy as blame. Whether the current government is composed of leftists or rightists, it is likely to be doing an egregiously poor job. The opposition can easily say that they would do what the current government is not doing, and a lot of people will agree that the alternative option would indeed be better.
So far, it sounds like a rollicking parody of reality.
Which it is.
Surprisingly, the electorate actually listens to the politicians' speeches. Many people take them seriously! Voters have such short memory that they forget that the other side had recently castigated its opposition for similar shortcomings. Nonetheless, some people allow themselves to be influenced by these political leaders.
Amazing.
