kormánykoalíciók

A kormánykoalíció, often translated as governing coalition or coalition government, refers to a situation in a parliamentary democracy where no single political party holds an absolute majority of seats in the legislature. In such cases, two or more parties must agree to work together to form a government. This alliance allows them to secure enough seats to pass legislation and govern effectively. The parties involved typically negotiate a coalition agreement outlining their shared policy objectives, the distribution of ministerial portfolios, and how they will cooperate on key issues.

The formation of a coalition is a common occurrence in many countries, particularly those with proportional representation electoral systems where smaller parties can gain representation. The dynamics of a coalition government can be complex, requiring compromise and negotiation between the participating parties. Disagreements can arise, potentially leading to instability or the collapse of the coalition. However, when successful, coalition governments can bring together diverse perspectives and foster broader consensus on policy. The size and composition of a coalition can vary significantly, from two major parties to a broader alliance of several smaller parties.
