Minority Government

Summary/Abstract: The article is concentrated on the question whether minority government can be regarded as a crucialelement of a stable political system. In Polish literature, it is usually considered as a negativephenomenon that arises from excessively broad spectrum of parties in the parliament and causes disintegrationof the political system, while e.g. Scandinavian countries found it to be beneficial for thestability and efficiency of the political scene. Therefore, if it were to be regarded as a factor behindthe political crisis, the only conclusion would be that those countries struggle permanently with suchdiffi culties, but the history shows that they do not. The author also attempts to compare the practical experiences of implementing and functioning ofsuch model to the sphere of ideologies, to determine whether a minority government is not, in fact,one of the most profound means of practicing democracy
