Abstract

Parties and party systems in Israel and India witnessed a significant transformation from one-party-dominated government from 1950s to mid-1970s, to one-party-headed coalitions from late 1980s to the present. The growing presence of a large number of parties and their spirit of working together as indispensable components in coalitional polity foretold the successful story of coalitional experiments of the Israeli and Indian party systems. With the two parliamentary democracies successfully completing their regular national elections (the 20th Knesset in 2015 and the 16th Lok Sabha in 2014), the contemporary phase shows the marked trends toward coalitional multipolarity comprising significant features like realignment of votes, emergence of the silent voters and technology-based competitive electoral politics.

Ashish Nandy cited formation of 8 coalitions in India in 25 years since 1989. According to Nandy, the 2½ years of government indicated the first half of 5 years of government full of people’s expectations, which started declining from the second spell of government.
