ADVANTAGES OF COALITION POLITICS1.Government will be more consensus-based:
resulting policies will be broadly approved of all the parties, since There has been a remarkable blending of tradition and modernity in the Indian society in which variousidentities have found democratic channels of expression in the political process.The political accommodation is a democratic barrier against manifestations of extremism. And coalition politics is the sharing of power in which differentinterests are democratically accommodated
2.Better representation of the electorate's wishes:
The type of Government depends on the type of election result and a fractured verdict by theelectorate can only result in a coalition. And a verdict given by the electorate
 
cannot be visualized as any violation of the electorate's mandate. It cannot betreated as undemocratic. Since even if a political party wins few seats in a parliament they have won because the voters have shown faith in them, their  policies. May be the voters of that constituency may have some minority politicalinterest but it will be represented in coalition government.
3.
 
Better quality of policy:
 
enhanced scrutiny and increased attention paid toEach policy, since the coalition government consists of different political partiesWith different ideologies every decision taken by the government will be be scrutinized each coalition parties from their own point of view representing particular ideology, which will lead towards better quality decision.
4. Increased continuity
: election does not lead to dramatic overhaul which canProduce fragmented rule, its difficult to seek unanimous agreement of all peopleon one policy of government so there will be always disagreement among certain people with regards to specific policy resulting to fragmented election results in theabsence of coalition politics it will be difficult to continusly won the elections, withthe help of coalition politics consensus can be built possibility of continuityincreases
DISADVANTAGES OF COALITION POLITICS1.Tendency to be fractious and prone to disharmony:
coalitionswould necessarily include different parties with differing beliefs and who,therefore, may not always agree on the correct path for governmental policy. Asa result there is always a possibility of collapse of government at any time if thecoalition party takes away the support of government with regards todisagreement to any government decision
2.Infeasible ideologies :
Often coalitions are made just to form agovernment irrespective of their ideologies resulting to fight among themselves,so the government due to fear of losing its majority is unable to take right &quick decision due to resistance from its coalition parties
 
3.Ability of minor parties to play kingmaker:
In close electionsminor parties gain far more for their support than their vote would otherwiseindicate. i.e. if major parties have diverse ideologies & they need support of minor parties to form a government . they get immense importance even after  being a minor party they undue influences the government policies
4.Sustaining of consensus is needed:
it’s the nature of the coalitiongovernment that wide consensus has to be built for taking a decision. To forge aconsensus, the leaders of ruling coalition parties can agree to silence their disagreements on an issue to unify the coalition against the opposition. Thecoalition partners, if they control the parliamentary majority, can collude to makethe parliamentary discussion on the issue irrelevant by consistently disregardingthe arguments of the opposition and voting against the opposition's proposalseven if there isdisagreementwithin the ruling parties about the issue.
5.Powerful parties can act in an oligocratic way:
Powerful partiescan also act in anoligocratic way to form an alliance to stifle the growth of  emerging parties. Of course, such an event is rare in coalition governments whencompared totwo-party systems, which typically exists because of stifling thegrowth of emerging parties, often through discriminatoryballot access regulations and plurality voting systems,etc.
HOW TO MAKE COALITION POLITICS BETTER 1.Majority in parliament should not be needed
: coalition is formed toget majority in parliament, its unnecessary the party which has maximum votesshould be allowed to form a government. the MP/MLA doesn’t need the supportof majority voters to win the election then why it is needed to form a governmentof course to pass the bill government need majority but legislator should be givenfree will either to vote in favors or against irrespective of their party command.
