coalitionan
Coalitionan is a term used in political theory and speculative discourse to describe a person who advocates for or participates in coalition-based governance. In its broad sense, a coalitionan supports forming and maintaining governing coalitions that bring together multiple political parties or interest groups to achieve policy objectives through compromise rather than unilateral action.
Etymology and usage notes suggest that coalitionan is formed from the word coalition plus the suffix -an,
In practice, coalitionans may be discussed in studies of parliamentary systems, post-electoral politics, and constitutional design.
Critics argue that coalition-based governance can lead to watered-down policies or fragile coalitions prone to collapse.
