Coalition governments are alliances of two or more political parties that pool their legislative seats to form majority coalition governments.
Characteristics that enable coalition governments to be strong are: large size or a comfortable majority government, small number of political parties in the coalition, long length-of-stay of the coalition, good management of coalition governments' life-cycles, and high cohesion among coalition partners.
Since coalition governments are temporary clustering of political parties, members of the political parties tend to feel that they belong more to their respective political parties than to the coalition government.
The Coalition for Ministry in Daily Life is a Christian movement that, through a supportive partnership, seeks to help people identify, develop, and carry out their personal ministries in everyday life.
The movement is based on an understanding of ministry as a function of the universal priesthood of the baptized.
The Coalition is open to all persons who, hearing Christ's call to follow him, seek specific ways to affirm the Christian faith in all of their life situations.
