- tremon 10y agoStill, it's usually the largest party (or the largest electoral winner) that gets first pickings to try to form a coalition.
- mikeash 10y agoThere's a great distance between "first pickings to try to form a coalition" and "throw the main opposition in jail and fill the chamber with armed troops to ensure the rest vote absolute power for your party's leader."
