A '''solid coalition''' is a group of voters who prefer a set of candidates to everybody else. The term is also sometimes used for the set itself. It was first defined by [[Douglas Woodall]] in the context of his [[Descending Solid Coalitions]] method, and is also used in certain measures of proportionality, such as the [[Proportionality for Solid Coalitions]] criterion. |
