Why does Ireland favor a coalition government?

It is not a case that Ireland favours a coalition government, but that the elections often result in them. There are a number of main political parties in Ireland, not just two as in many countries. The electoral system is a proportional representation system. As this is the case, it is hard for one party to get an overall majority in a general election. The result of that is that there are often coalition governments in Ireland.


How many people does it take to form a majority government?

In a parliamentary democracy, a majority government is one in which the ruling party has a majority of the seats in parliament. In contrast, a coalition government is one in which two or more parties combine to have a majority of the seats, and thus form a government. A minority government is one in which no party or coalition has a majority of the seats, but the largest party forms a government anyway. Minority governments are very unstable, and generally do not last very long.


What is a coalition gov?

When he UK Conservative Party failed to get an outright majority in the last election, Labour could have blocked many of the Tory Government's motions. To avoid this, the Liberal Democrats (third in the elections) agreed to form a coalition Government with the Conservatives. Now, provided the Liberals went along with the Conservative, they could both outvote the Labour opposition. The Liberals gained Government Ministry jobs and a modicum of power, and have been able to install some liberal policies into law.
