Federalism and electoral rules are usually seen as two distinct mechanisms for managing societal conflict in general and territorial conflicts in particular. Electoral rules that provide some element of proportionality in legislative elections, for example, are frequently viewed as a "consociational" mechanism that allows many different groups to express their interests rather than polarizing them around a single dominant cleavage. Such electoral rules can be particularly effective at protecting minority interests when they are combined with other consociational features, including oversized coalitions with informal norms of cabinet selection (in parliamentary systems) that reach across major cleavages
