Chapter 23
Mary Washington, PSCI 000
Excerpt: ... parties to construct alliances before elections. Since 1994, then, it has been a foregone conclusion that the leader of the winning coalition will be the new prime minister. 2. Did the framers of the Italian constitution succeed in achieving collective responsibility within the government? How does coalition government affect the power of the Prime Minister? What powers does the PM have over members of the cabinet? How is the Prime Minister's relationship with the Cabinet different from other systems we've studied? No. Italian governments are typically fragmented and characterized by internecine rivalries. Power is based on a given party's seats and its relation to the size of the coalition. When the dominant party is united, or when the governing coalition has an uncontested leader, the prime minister's power is enhanced. When coalitions are less cohesive, prime ministers will be undermined. Individual parties that have enough seats to shift the balance of power by their defection can also constrain the ...

Washington, SGL 2
Excerpt: ... en if he will not run, and therefore will not face the prime minister, in the next presidential elections. Second, cohabitation prime ministers should not propose more moderate legislation in an attempt to limit presidential opposition to their legislative proposals. Third, cohabitation prime ministers who dispose of a large and ideologically cohesive parliamentary majority, and who therefore seem best equipped to produce important reforms, should enact fewer statutes than cohabitation prime ministers who are supported by a small and fragmented majority. Chapters 3 & 4 constitute empirical tests of my hypotheses. In chapter 3, I use quantitative analysis to assess the impact of cohabitation and other political and institutional variables on the amount of important legislation enacted yearly. Chapter 4 is devoted to examining if cohabitation leads the prime minister to be more receptive to amendments of governmental bills by legislators of the presidents party. Chapter 5 constitutes a qualitative test of my ...

midterm study guide
USC, POSC 120
Excerpt: ... th a secure majority party or coalition, the prime minister rarely has to compromise as much as an American president, which allows their government to act more quickly and decisively than any American administration. In a parliamentary system a party that runs for election and wins the majority of the seats in parliament can take office and see the proposals in its program or platform passed virtually intact. - The prime minister has so much leverage over what happens at each of these stages that he or she can force proposed legislation through what is for all intents and purposes a compliant parliament. Power in parliamentary systems are fused not separated. After an election the parliament selects the prime ministers , who is normally the head of the majority party or coalition of parties. The prime minister has not been elected by the country as a whole and in most countries is merely an MP. The prime minister appoints the rest of the cabinet. Unlike the US, most ministers are also members of parlia ...
