[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] And over here, it's different yet again. The different parties come up with lists of candidates (they have no connection to political subdivisions or anything like that), and you can vote for one of these people. It doesn't really matter which MP of a single party you vote for, it's more important that you vote for the party you think will do the best. Then, the Monarch appoints a 'formateur' whose job it is to come up with a viable coalition government and an accord between the governing parties. The government can in theory be any combination of parties, but it helps an awful lot if this combination has a majority of seats in parliament. This formation process can be quite a difficult one, as was the case last time, when Labour and the Christian Democrats didn't want to be in one government. Which was a bit of a shame, since the voters seemed to *want* a Christian Democrat/Labour government. There are those who would like to see a republican form of government, without a Queen and with a President. But those ideas have never really gotten anywhere. [/QB][/QUOTE]
