ROLE OF REGIONAL PARTIES IN COALITION FORMATION:-
1. In contrast to national parties, regional parties lay a lot of emphasis on regional interest and retention of regional autonomy.
2. They are a source for fostering regionalism.
3. Most of the have either begun as movements or have eventually turned into them.
4. They are religion/caste/language based.
5. Political factors have also led to the emergence of these political parties, as is the case of Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
6. Regional parties play the role of providing alternatives to the failure of a single party, winning majority.
7. When in general elections, national parties fail to secure a clear mandate; the regional parties, which are very flexible, enter into these Governments and form a coalition.
8. They play the politics of pressure and capitalize by the technique of bargain.
9. The greater role of regional parties in the formation of a coalition has opened the way to even more corruption.
10. The small parties can extract maximum and are averse to thinking collectively.
