Gamson's Law

Gamson's Law is a political principle suggesting that in coalition governments, each party tends to receive a share of cabinet positions roughly proportional to its electoral support or size. Essentially, larger parties get more influential roles, while smaller parties receive fewer. This distribution helps maintain stability and fairness, reflecting the relative strength of each party within the government. It emphasizes that political power and influence are often distributed in line with each party's electoral support, facilitating cooperation among diverse political groups in a coalition.
