C.f. Germany right now, where the only viable candidate for Chancellor still required 2 votes and hours of horse trading to get elected today, even after weeks of negotiations putting his coalition together.

And to cap it all, the coalition’s legislative plan will not be anything voters voted for, but whatever they cobbled together behind closed doors after the election. Which means they can’t be judged against a manifesto or held to account in any meaningful way at the next election.
