suurvaltaliiton
Suurvaltaliitto, often translated as "Great Power Alliance" or "Grand Coalition," is a political concept describing a situation where the dominant political parties in a multi-party system form a coalition government. This typically occurs when no single party can secure a majority in parliament, necessitating cooperation among the largest parties to ensure stable governance. The formation of a suurvaltaliitto is often driven by a desire to avoid political deadlock, to present a united front during times of national crisis, or to pursue broad policy consensus.
Historically, the term and the phenomenon have been particularly relevant in parliamentary democracies with proportional representation
