| Message | Coalitions would still need the backing of > 50% of the seats of course, but this prevents certain types of deadlocks. This effectively introduces a semi-presidential system like France's. |

| Message | I like this idea. Does this mean the head of state might not be in the cabinet? |

| Message | This adds a whole new tactical, political level to the game. I like it, if only there were more right wingers to form a coalition with. |

| Message | It indeed means the head of state's party might not be in the cabinet. This situtation happens in most systems with a weak head of state, and in some systems with a strong head of state (France). |
