	Cohabitation (government) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cohabitation in government occurs in semi-presidential systems, such as France's system, when the President and the Prime Minister come from different political parties.
		For the next five years, the French government and assembly were from the same political background until 1993 when President Mitterand was forced to appoint his opposition leader Edouard Balladur to the post of Prime Minister.
		The theory of cohabitation is not limited to France, as a coexistence between the head of state and its parliamentary majority is possible in any country, for example between the Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Prime Minister.

	Cohabitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cohabitation is defined as an emotional, physical, and intellectually intimate relationship which includes a common living place and which exists without the benefit of legal, cultural, or religious sanction.
		Cohabitation can be seen as a substitute for marriage without the financial and legal risks of a divorce, while still fulfilling a human need for close emotional support and social interaction otherwise found in a married life.
		Acceptance of premarital cohabitation is higher in adolescents that are exposed to significant levels of parental conflict and divorce.

	France - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about France
		The change of government did not interfere with the negotiations for a treaty of alliance with the UK, and the treaty was eventually signed at Dunkirk on 4 March 1947.
		The government was severely shaken, but de Gaulle recovered; the elections of 1968 returned an enormous Gaullist majority, and a new phase of Gaullism seemed to be inaugurated by the appointment of Maurice Couve de Murville as prime minister.
		His intention was that the government should receive a mandate to carry out further austerity measures that would enable France to meet the financial targets required for membership of a single European currency in 1999, and would assure Chirac a majority in the national assembly until the end of his presidential term.

	[No title]
		In Marriage-Lite, Patricia Morgan, a family researcher, says that study shows that men and women in cohabiting relationships are more likely to be unfaithful to their partners than married people, women are more likely to be abused, and children are more likely to be abused or killed.
		Government policy is refusing to take this knowledge into consideration in its persistence in encouraging cohabitation as a legitimate alternative to marriage, the report says.
		Government actions are undermining "the only institution ever shown to be capable of raising children successfully," according to Mrs Morgan.

		Government circles are optimistic that the LTTE would respond positively to its latest proposals on the interim administrative structure.

		This column has consistently argued against the government, elected on a mandate of peace, attempting cohabitation with the hawkish President, particularly given her stated intransigent positions regarding the ethnic conflict.

		This woman lost her job as a county 911 dispatcher because the sheriff found out that she was cohabiting in violation of state law.

		The culture of cohabitation is based on the notion that continued participation in the most intimate of relationships is a matter which is primarily contingent on the satisfaction of each partner.

	Statement by the Prosecutor following the Arrest of Momcilo Krajisnik on 3 April 2000
		Cohabitation is a French concept meaning that the President belongs to one party while the government is in the hands of another.
		On account of cohabitation, there are very few people in the government who have any kind of involvement with the arrest of war criminals.
		Among the accused, no. But French functionaries have told me that their government and president are afraid that the lawyers of the war criminals could summon French officers and functionaries as witnesses for the defence, which could lead to a political conflict at the highest level in France.

	The Militant - May 20, 2002 -- Workers discuss outcome of French elections
		The first round vote for both wings of traditional French electoral politics, which have cooperated for five years in what is known as a "cohabitation" government, collapsed as a result of continued government attacks on retirement, medical care, education and employment.

		The new government hopes to alter the 1945 statute on juvenile delinquency by lowering the penal age from 13 to 10 years of age.

		Peiris, who is also the Constitutional Affairs Minister, said the government would welcome a snap election as it was confident it could increase its majority in parliament.
		He said the country's peace process had been placed in jeopardy by Kumaratunga taking over the vital defense ministry while the cohabitation government of Wickremesinghe was talking with Tamil Tiger rebels.

	A victory and after
		Unlike the 2001 mandate, which led to a bitter cohabitation government of the President and the Prime Minister, the parliamentary majority for the UPFA has opened the possibility of a return to relatively frictionless governance.
		As the UPFA gears up for a phase of governance, Sri Lankan politics enters untested waters of a combination of opposing forces, which would have to stay together if any meaningful gain is to be made from the mandate.
		The possibility of a national government is extremely unlikely given the sharp differences between the two main parties.

	The Hindu : MORE UNCERTAINTY IN SRI LANKA
		Kumaratunga is considering an early parliamentary election to break the cohabitation deadlock between her and the UNF Government.
		Wickremesinghe's insistence that the President must return the defence portfolio, one of three she took over from his Government last November in an assertion of her Constitutional supremacy, left little room for compromise.
		Kumaratunga's first instinct was naturally to strengthen the P.A. For this a tie-up with the JVP is sound arithmetic, for its significant vote share in southern Sri Lanka may help tilt the electoral balance in the P.A.'s favour.
