Valitsemassakin

Valitsemassakin is a term used in Estonian to refer to a political party that is not represented in the Riigikogu, the Estonian Parliament. The term is derived from the words "valitsemine" (government) and "massakin" (minority), indicating that these parties do not have enough votes to gain seats in the Riigikogu. Valitsemassakin parties can still play a significant role in Estonian politics, as they often participate in coalition governments or influence policy through negotiations with other parties. They may also gain representation in local or regional governments. The term is used to describe parties that are not part of the majority coalition in the Riigikogu, but still hold political influence. Valitsemassakin parties can range from small, niche parties to larger parties that have historically been part of the majority coalition but have since lost their representation in the Riigikogu. The term is used to describe the political landscape in Estonia, where parties often need to form coalitions to govern effectively.
