That’s an important detail.
But the coalitions sometimes break—votes of confidence are known to fail.
Maybe you can fill me in on exactly what the phrase “forming a new government” entails. I’m a bit hazy on that part.
Thanx in advance.
Party leaders are interviewed by the president and recommend someone to be PM. If party leaders representing a majority name one person, that person is named to form a government, naming the heads of departments and coalition members.
If there’s no majority, the president appoints someone to give a first try at forming a coalition. If that fails, someone else can be given a chance.
“Form a new Government” is the parlance of a parliamentary system. The government in that system is run by a Prime Minister (the head of the majority party). Once the conditions for triggering a new election happens that government still somewhat operates, but then after the election, the parliamentary parties have to come together to select a Prime Minister and then the Ministry (Cabinet) positions and these are often keys to building a ruling coalition. Once there are enough votes to select a Prime Minister (a majority of persons in the parliament), that is when “a new Government” is formed.
