Many countries (including Germany, where MMP was first used) have a minimum bar of votes for a party to make it to parliament, e.g. 5% in Germany. Where exactly you put the cutoff is a bit arbitrary, but this solves the problem efficiently. There are parties in parliament in Germany that I'd rather not have there, but none is fringe.
