Opposition Party Behavior and Minority Government Support: Challenges, Strategies and Trade-Offs

By Mélanie Muller

Opposition parties in minority governments are partly responsible for government stability without being able to neglect their accountability to the electorate, a dilemma that, as this book shows, has many electoral as well as policy advantages for opposition parties. This book's analysis of opposition behaviour in the Swedish Riksdag (1991-2018) sheds light on the rationality of minority governments from an opposition perspective: receiving political influence without jeopardising one's party profile. The author studies oppositional behaviour in Swedish minority governments using quantitative and qualitative methods.
