coalitionist

Brazil’s coalitionist political structure makes it difficult for outsiders to gain traction, said Carlos Melo, a political-science professor at São Paulo’s Insper business school.

It was the first election under Confederation, and he was opposed by Mr. James Cowan, a Reform Coalitionist, who was also a local candidate of great influence.

For this record some called him a "yes & no" man; he called himself a "coalitionist."

Through bewilderment, perversity, or both, Wisconsin's voters turned out last week to give Coalitionist Henry the Democratic nomination by a wide margin over New Dealer Fox, Republican Heil the Republican nomination by a still wider margin over Mr. Henry.

Coalitionist Henry, no New Dealer and deeming the Republican nomination better than the Democratic, thereupon called on his Democratic supporters to vote for him in the Republican primary.
