	Coalition government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a cabinet in parliamentary government in which several parties cooperate.
		Cabinets based on a coalition with majority in the parliament ideally are more stable and longlived than minority cabinets.
		Coalition cabinets are common in countries where the parliament is proportionally representative for several political parties.

	cabinet. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In Great Britain, where the cabinet system originated, it was at first a committee of the privy council and rose to its modern status only after the sovereignty of Parliament had been established by the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the gradual emergence of party government in the 18th cent.
		The British cabinet is a body of ministers drawn from the party that possesses a majority in the House of Commons; it is responsible to the Commons for the conduct of the administration.
		The cabinet is chosen by the prime minister, who is guided by the necessity of choosing a group that will represent the disparate elements in his party.

	Cabinet (Fiji) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 18 July 2003, Fiji's Supreme Court ruled that the exclusion of the Labour Party was in breach of the Constitution, and demanded that the situation be rectified.
		Changing the constitutional provision for a multi-party Cabinet to a multi-ethnic one, he told the Fiji Village news service on 23 December, would guarantee equitable representation to all ethnic communities without requiring the government to compromise with ideologically opposite parties.
		Note that the three Senators included in the Cabinet are all members of the SDL, but are not officially counted as such for the purposes of determining the number of Cabinet seats to which political parties are entitled.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		Characteristics that enable coalition governments to be strong are: large size or a comfortable majority government, small number of political parties in the coalition, long length-of-stay of the coalition, good management of coalition governments' life-cycles, and high cohesion among coalition partners.
		Cabinet reshuffles and coalition government reformations are often used by the prime minister to end a political scandal and prolong the life of his government.
		Since coalition governments are temporary clustering of political parties, members of the political parties tend to feel that they belong more to their respective political parties than to the coalition government.

	Poland forms coalition Cabinet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The coalition of the union-led Solidarity Election Action (AWS) and the Freedom Union replaces the Cabinet of Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, who quit earlier Friday after his ex-communist Democratic Left Alliance and its Peasant party partners lost Sept. 21 elections.
		Coalition talks reportedly had been deadlocked over the issue of which party would get key Cabinet posts, but a meeting between Solidarity leader Marian Krzaklewski and Freedom Union chief Leszek Balcerowicz finally broke the impasse.
		The coalition talks dragged on partly because the outgoing government's resignation was delayed until a new Polish constitution took effect at midnight Oct. 16, so Parliament can meet Monday under the new rules.

	The Foundation for Constitutional Democracy » 1o Short Position Papers - I
		Coalition cabinet government, with its multiplicity of parties—each with its own agenda—is inherently incapable of formulating and executing coherent, comprehensive, and resolute national policies.
		This is impossible under Israel’s system of coalition cabinet government, in which the Prime Minister must accommodate the conflicting interests of the parties composing his cabinet.
		Meanwhile, coalition cabinet government compels the Prime Minister to violate his campaign pledges, the effect of which is to arouse public cynicism or contempt for politicians.

		With its 27 seats in the House, the FLP qualifies for an invitation to be represented in Cabinet in proportion to the number of its Members in the House.
		Cabinet, of course, is the central policy-making body of a Government.
		For the multi party Cabinet I have to establish, the Constitution instructs the Prime Minister on the party or parties that should be included, and the process the Prime Minister must follow for this.

	94045: Japan's Uncertain Political Transition
		A major reason was the perception that the coalition was a "unnatural" marriage of convenience between conservatives and old-line leftists.
		That coalition had a difficult transition, beset by internal policy differences, but was able to steer top priority political reform bills through the Diet, setting the stage for a potentially significant change in the rules governing Japanese politics.
		In the current coalition, the party's policies are identified as "dovish" or "liberal." In an ongoing political realignment, the Sakigake party may find it difficult to project a credible, distinct identity.

		He said he had lost confidence in Prudnikovas and Padaiga, and that the Cabinet should reform itself “in line with the Constitution.” Labor Party’s coalition partners said it was all but unfathomable that the two ministers could continue working in the Cabinet after the president’s speech.

		Forming a new Palestinian coalition government was essential to overcome a crisis worsened after Israel arrested eight Palestinian ministers and at least 20 lawmakers including Aziz Dweik, Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) from the governing Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the West Bank.

		Hamas, which overwhelmingly won the January legislative elections, failed to form a national coalition government and had alone formed a government in late March.

	Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet - Illinois Issues
		Roger B. Taney, whom Jackson appointed attorney general and then secretary of the treasury, faithfully carried out Jackson's political destruction of the Bank of the United States; his secretary of war, John Eaton, was rumored to have won the job because of Jackson's fancy for his wife, the flirtatious Peggy Eaton.
		Anyone looking over Lincoln's shoulder in 1861 would have decided that filling his Cabinet with the very men who were his greatest rivals, and who held him in the greatest contempt, was an act of political folly that bordered on the suicidal.
		And that is a serious weakness, since the Civil War called forth a substantial increase in the size of the federal bureaucracy and the importance of the Cabinet secretaries.

		Olmert was able to inform senior members of his Kadima party of their new portfolios in the coalition cabinet after persuading the ultra-Orthodox Shas to sign up to the government.

		Israeli coalitions are notoriously unstable but Olmert has been striving to cobble together such a broad-based cabinet that it can withstand whatever political storms emerge before the scheduled end of his term in 2010.
