A consensus model of political decision-making
Abstract
In this paper, a model of political consensus is introduced. Parties try to reach consensus in forming a government. A government is defined as a pair consisting of a winning coalition and a policy supported by this coalition, where a policy consists of policies on given issues. A party evaluates all governments the party belongs to with respect to some
criteria. We allow the criteria to be of unequal importance to a party.
These criteria concern winning coalitions and policy issues. Parties may
be advised to adjust their preferences, i.e., to change their evaluation
concerning some government(s) or/and the importance of the criteria, in order to obtain a better political consensus.
