What do you mean by coalition politics?

Coalition politics refers to the practice of multiple political parties or groups forming an alliance to achieve common goals, typically to gain power or influence in governance. This approach is often necessary in systems with proportional representation, where no single party can secure a majority. Coalition politics can lead to compromise and negotiation, as differing ideologies must be reconciled to maintain stability and effectiveness. However, it can also result in fragmented governance and challenges in decision-making due to diverse interests.
