Assess students' ability to apply comparative electoral-system concepts to forecast coalition outcomes in multi-party parliamentary systems. Scope includes how electoral rules (district magnitude, thresholds, seat-allocation formulas, PR vs majoritarian, mixed systems), strategic incentives (Duverger effects, pre/post-electoral pacts), and party-system structure (effective number of parties, ideological distances) shape coalition types (minimal winning, oversized, office- vs policy-seeking). Expect use of basic seat projections, coalition arithmetic, and compatibility reasoning to justify predictions.
