A New Tribalism Spreads in Donald Trump’s Washington A2
Fights over health care and a new Supreme Court justice suggest that partisan divides under Donald Trump’s presidency aren’t simply between Republicans and Democrats, Gerald F. Seib writes.
Spain isn't used to coalition-building. Unless its leaders find a settlement soon, fresh elections are likely
The economy is in crisis, but Aso will not present his second supplementary budget plan until next year. He has no intention of dissolving the Lower House and calling a snap election anytime soon. The impression I get is that the government and the ruling coalition have holed themselves up in their "administration castle," while the opposition Minshuto (Democratic Party of Japan) is laying siege, in a manner of speaking, by filling the castle moats and trying to batter down the gates.

A snap election is an election called earlier than scheduled. Generally it refers to an election called when no one expects it, usually to capitalize on a unique electoral opportunity or to decide a pressing issue.

A snap election is an election called earlier than expected.
Generally it refers to an election in a parliamentary system called when not required (either by law or convention), usually to capitalize on a unique electoral opportunity or to decide a pressing issue. It differs from a recall election in that it is initiated by politicians (usually the head of government or ruling party) rather than voters, and from a special election in that the winners will serve an entire term as opposed to the remainder of an already established term.[1][2]
Since the power to call snap elections usually lies with the incumbent, they frequently result in increased majorities for the party already in power having been called at an advantageous time; however, there have been cases of snap elections backfiring and resulting in an opposition party's winning or gaining power. Generally speaking, the Prime Minister under such systems does not have the legal power to call an election, but rather must request the election be called by the head of state. In most countries, the head of state always grants such a request by convention.[citation needed]
