Coalitions are partnerships formed by people, political parties and factions to achieve common goals.
Coalitions are omnipresent in human relations, from international security, diplomatic alliances, electoral alliances, coalition governments to grassroots coalitions.
Coalitions enable the coordination of resources, strategies, and objectives, in order to increase the chances of achieving the desired common goals.
Coalitions abide by properties and laws. Similarly to other forms of matter, the mass, or “strength of a coalition”, is a function of its density and volume.
The greater the volume (number of members the coalition), the greater the mass. The greater the density (concentration of demands), the greater the mass.
This mass then gets converted into raw and kinetic energy, which are the driving forces behind human evolution, revolutionary change and progress.
At the same time, the larger a coalition becomes, the harder it becomes to maintain consensus in the face of divergent priorities, and the greater the risk of fragmentation.
When coalitions are strong and united, they have the ability to create drive and momentum towards certain plans of action, overcome opposing interests and forces, and therefore achieve desired political outcomes – anywhere from judicial, security reforms, economic measures to constitutional changes.
