Prior to 1965, no party was ever able to win more than 35 per cent of the vote in the Congressional elections. As a result, party coalitions and cabinet changes were made necessary if the President were to secure legislative approval for his programs.
Chilean politics examined in 'Your Government' piece
Chilean political parties and that nation's system of proportional representation are featured in this month's issue of "Your Government," a publication of the KU Governmental Research Center.
In past elections, Chilean political parties have only been able to win a plurality of the vote in presidential contests. Whenever a president receives less than a majority the two houses of the Chilean Congress choose between the two candidates with the largest vote. Traditionally, the Congress has selected the candidate with the largest vote total as President. The article points out that: "... this factor has often affected Congressional-Presidential relations."
