Indices of political power – a case study of a few parliaments

With respect to yes-no voting systems, voters (i.e., players) have some influence on making some decisions. In formal voting situations, taking into account that “a majority vote” is needed for making a decision, the question of political power of voters can be considered. There are some well-known indices of political power (e.g., the Shapley-Shubik index of power, the Banzhaf index, the Johnston index, the Deegan-Packel index). In order to compare these indices of political power from the empirical point of view, we consider these indices of power in some cases, i.e., in relation to a few parliaments.
