Coalition partners can prevent surprise moves like demonetization, which hurt most Indians. Coalition governments may prevent good reform, but, by the same principle, also prevent badly crafted ideas rammed down by a strong executive. To rein in the next set of policy disasters, we must hope that no single party gets a majority. Never miss a story!

Coalitions often fail such tests because temporary unpopularity may encourage one of the parties involved to defect, in search of a populist advantage. It might be agreed that sometimes exceptional circumstances, such as war, require a coalition government although the USA did not have one in either World War.
This does not mean that such governments are better in normal conditions. Major constitutional decisions are better dealt with through referenda.
Coalition government provides more continuity in administration. In countries without a tradition of coalition governments, parties can remain in government or opposition for long periods, and an adversarial political culture develops. In states with coalition politics, however, there are usually at least some ministers with considerable experience under the previous government.
A more consensual style of politics also allows for a more gradual and constructive shift of policy between administrations. Coalition governments are very unstable, often collapsing and reforming at frequent intervals — Italy, for example, averages more than one government per year since This greatly restricts the ability of governments to deal with major reforms and means that politicians seldom stay in any particular ministerial post for long enough to get to grips with its demands.
At the same time, this squabbling between political parties erodes the confidence of the public in their political system and in their elected representatives.

Yesterday, Clegg promised to exert his party's independence more within the coalition. If you are a Liberal Democrat voter, you don't like it. I don't like it. I didn't come into politics to kind of announce great cuts and savings. You do it out of necessity.
