Abstract

We develop a model to explain the relationship between mixed electoral system and democracy sustained through cohabitation.This model takes in account nascent democracy as foreign imposed democracy countries.We find a strong relation between mixed electoral system and likelihood of cohabitation through analysis of Palestinian legislative election in 2006.This relation reflects the impact of both factors, Independent candidates, and polarization to big parties.The model suggests that if sustainability democracy tends to survive, more effort should be taken in this field, such as, changing institutional factors, reducing presidential power, reducing threatening of occupation, and improving con-socialism condition.
