In this article, we argue that despite being widely used in the literature, a unidimensional representation of parties’ policy positions on the encompassing left–right scale is inadequate to explain the process of coalition governments’ formation. We focus first on coalition outcomes in Italy in the period 2001–18. Our statistical analysis including, among other variables, parties’ policy distance on the left–right dimension performs rather well until 2013 but fails to predict the coalition outcome in 2018.
