Answer 2

answer1))))Advantages: You get a stronger government with a majority coalition than a party trying to rule with a minority. More people's views are represented in the policies implemented than if just one party ruled.


Disadvantages: Less stable, a coalition is more likely to fall apart and break up than a one-party government.



answer2))))((Coalitions are traditionally very strained relationships. The danger of a coalition for the party is that the smaller party may have to sell out some of their principles to keep the coalition happy (à la Liberal Democrats). This is highly unpopular with voters and supporters and can even anger some people within the party enough to take a stand against the coalition leaders.

Coalitions are quite unstable, a big unknown. You don’t know what you’re going to get and they’re usually formed because there was no majority in parliament anyway. Both parties tend to have something the other party needs which means there’s a lot of tactical policy making.

There is also the danger that your partner could ditch you come next election when the time is convenient…
