Abstract

The similarity of parties’ policy preferences has long been considered an important determinant of whether they form a government coalition. That similarity has typically been assessed based on parties’ respective locations in a policy space. The degree to which parties care about different issues may, however, also vary. Parties that care about different issues may actually be the most compatible partners, as their tangential preferences would allow them to engage in policy logrolling and enable them to preserve their distinctiveness in the eyes of voters. This analysis tests arguments regarding the role of tan-gentiality and its interaction with policy proximity on the party composition of governments formed in Western Europe from 1945 to 2019. The findings show that parties that emphasise the same issues are more natural coalition partners provided the ideological differences between the parties are sufficiently similar.

拼图的碎片?联盟的形成和切向偏好
长期以来,政党政策偏好的相似性一直被认为是决定它们是否组成联合政府的重要因素。这种相似性通常是根据政党在政策空间中的各自位置来评估的。然而,各方关心不同问题的程度也可能有所不同。关心不同问题的政党实际上可能是最兼容的合作伙伴,因为他们的相关偏好将使他们能够参与政策博弈,并使他们能够在选民眼中保持自己的独特性。这一分析检验了关于切线性的作用及其与政策接近性在1945年至2019年西欧政府政党构成中的相互作用的论点。研究结果表明,如果政党之间的意识形态差异足够相似,强调相同问题的政党更自然成为联盟伙伴。
