Does minority government prevent voters from holding all of the responsible policy-makers accountable? Minority governments often enjoy the legislative support of external support parties which play an ambiguous role in politics: while they are formally part of the opposition, they are simultaneously committed to keeping the government in office and passing its bills. Scholars have theorized that external support parties choose this roles because it allows them to influence policy without suffering the electoral cost of governing. How does accountability work under such circumstances? And can that teach us something about accountability and retro-spective voting more generally? In this project, I hypothesize that voters who are satisfied with government performance will feel more positively towards and will be more likely to vote for parties that support the government. Using the new Parliamentary Governments in Europe Data (PAGED), I explore the responsibility attribution to and electoral consequences for informal and formal support parties as well as "true" opposition parties.
