Abstract:
How powerful is the current government relative to its recent predecessors? We compute Shapley values for the recent Daileanna, and show that the current government is much stronger than the minority administrations of 1981 and 1982, and would remain so even if it lost a number of TDs. This effect occurs because of the fragmentation of opposition parties. In fact Fine Gael is now no more powerful than the Workers' Party.
