Zusammenfassung: | This article analyses party discipline and parliamentary coalitions at Santa Catarina's House of Representatives between 1999 and 2006. It shows that discipline ratios, though changing amidst the main parties, have been relatively high as a whole, causing some significant predictability in voting outcome. As for coalitions, the government/opposition dimension has shown to be more significant in parliamentary groupings than in the positioning of parties along the so-called left/right ideological scale. |
