What do you mean by alaska’s coalitions. And what do you mean by “government” and “opposition”. The presentation of this tally data feels like a massive mis understanding of how politics works in the US.

So, two Republicans in the House have refused to caucus with other Republicans and have joined in coalition with Democrats and Yellows to control the chamber. Can anyone tell us what the two Republicans have said to explain this unusual move?
The Senate is just as weird. The Republicans have a majority, but five Republicans caucus with Democrats instead of other members of their party. Is the motivation the same as that of the two House members?

It’s super confusing to have government and opposition. Is the opposition group showing elected reps in government? Or are they opposition to government? How can you be elected in government and also opposing the government?

WA state had something quite similar in the 2010s. Two Democratic state senators jumped on close election results that year, where Dems led 26-23, and ran to the Rs (without officially changing parties) and handed them effective control of 25-24. It was known as the [Majority Coalition Caucus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority_Coalition_Caucus) (MCC). (Those two guys didn’t get re-elected.)

Thanks in part to Ranked Choice Voting.
