While small parties had won parliamentary seats intermittently post-World War II, they had not been in a position to seek office. Proportionality, however, meant notions of shared executive responsibility had to be entertained by the two major parties, and in practice no party has held a majority since 1996. Nevertheless, formal coalitions of the European kind have proved rare in the post-1996 environment. Instead, support arrangements of minority governments have become the norm – with varying degrees of policy and electoral success for the small parties involved (Miller and Curtin 2011).
Our country chapters also underline problems related to this party screening of ministerial candidates prior to election and in parliament: the size of the pool may indeed be quite restricted for both initial appointments and replacements when ministers have to be chosen from among MPs. In addition, dismissing ministers may be a riskier move for PMs, because the dismissed might foment discontent among their supporters and challenge for the leadership or trigger factional breakaways. Our contributors show that in these contexts, high legislative turnover (Canada) and short parliamentary mandates (Australia, New Zealand) may be additional factors negatively affecting the quality of ministers at any time in a cabinet’s lifetime.
