Divided government
A divided government is a type of government in presidential systems, when control of the executive branch and the legislative branch is split between two political parties or coalitions, in semi-presidential systems, when the executive branch itself is split between two parties or coalitions, and in semi-parliamentary systems, when the legislative branch itself is split between two parties or coalitions. In strict parliamentary systems, if the executive does not satisfy or comply with the demands of parliament, parliament can force the executive to resign via a motion of no confidence.
