Power-sharing coalitions in deeply divided places can take centripetal or consociational forms. Respectively, these aim to foster moderation and inclusivity by restricting coalitions to moderate parties or proportionately to incorporate the main political forces. Using the case of Northern Ireland (1973–2015), this article assesses the merits of a particular consociational coalition, based on sequential and proportional allocation rules, by contrast with centripetal (and alternative consociational) coalitions. Sequential and proportional coalitions have clear constitutional design advantages that deserve more attention from academics and policy-makers concerned with the government of deeply divided places
