本研究探讨了一个动态的，立法的政党制度，见证了分裂和融合的政党，伴随着广泛的立法成员的转换。候选人寻求模型预测，基于政党席位分配的最小获胜联盟的形成。在不假设政党是单一行为者的情况下，我们可以考察个别立法者寻求公职的假设，以获得关键的理论含义。日本的政党制度在过去20年里提供了一个充满活力的立法政党制度的实验案例。在Laver and Kato（2001）的基础上，本研究进一步探讨了日本的案例，以检验将职位寻求假设应用于动态系统时的理论含义。更具体地说，它考察了日本国会两院立法政党制度之间的相互作用。这里的证据表明，一个超级多数党分裂成一个纯粹的多数党和一个接近多数党的吸引力，为转换，以帮助它通过多数门槛。这项研究表明，近多数或超级多数党所产生的动态发生在政府组建以及两院多数不一致的情况下。
This study examines a dynamic, legislative party system that has witnessed the fissions and fusions of parties that accompany the extensive switching of legislative members. Office-seeking models predict the formation of minimal winning coalitions that are based on distribution of seats among parties. Without assuming that the party is a unitary actor, one can examine the office-seeking assumptions of individual legislators to gain critical theoretical implications. The Japanese party system has provided an experimental case of dynamic legislative party systems for the last two decades. Building on Laver and Kato (2001), this study further explores the Japanese case to examine the theoretical implications when office-seeking assumptions are applied to a dynamic system. More specifically, it examines the interaction between legislative party systems in both houses of the Japanese Diet. The evidence here suggests the split of a super majority party into a bare majority party and a near majority party’s attraction for switchers to help it pass a majority threshold. The study demonstrates that the dynamic that resulted from a near majority or super majority party occurred with the formation of the government as well as with the incongruence of majorities in both houses.
