"All we may state is that, of the four possible winning coalitions, one of the three two-party coalitions will form." Additionally, Browne points to the knowledge aspect of Riker's theory as posing a problem. He argues that while the context of governing coalitions "minimizes the problem of perfect information" (meaning that parties know how possible coalitions will benefit them), leaders may not be able to "depend on their parties to vote with perfect cohesion.
The core concept is that while governing coalitions reduce the problem of perfect information, there's still a challenge with parties voting cohesively. This highlights the tension between knowledge and action within political contexts.
