Motivation

Coalition governments are common, but in many cases a single party could also form a stable cabinet. I did spot usage of political coalition (P5832) (e.g. in Nehammer government (Q109907459)) but it would be confusing to use it for single party governments. Thus I'm suggesting this new property to be versatile enough for every cabinet (Q640506), government (Q7188) or similiar formed by any number of parties and easily used to derive lists ([1]) or diagrams ([2]) from. You can see such data is missing from some items like First Thatcher ministry (Q5453886) or Third Merkel cabinet (Q15094515).

There might be potential for confusion. So discussion would be highly welcomed here:

• political coalition (Q6138528) or coalition government (Q837416) demand multiple parties, thus political coalition (P5832) would probably we a clear choice, but this proposed property could also be used.
• cabinet (Q640506) or government (Q7188), when formed by multiple parties could use political coalition (P5832) but not if formed by a single one. Then this proposed property would need to be used, which could also be used in either case.

Should it replace political coalition (P5832)?

Discussion

Why not has part(s) (P527)? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 23:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

This could be very unspecific and also be interpreted as the persons in the cabinet. My proposal is including the restriction to values of political party (Q7278). Aeroid (talk) 15:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

For Dutch cabinets we also use has part(s) (P527) for persons. But on the other hand, one could easily filter those using SPARQL. Name might also be too generic, as I first thought it was about elections. Dajasj (talk) 07:28, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
