Abstract
Probability offers some suitable tools for modeling political processes in a country's life. It is well known that a party, or coalition can not govern a country without the support of more than 50 % of the voters, or the members of the National Assembly. However, the dynamics in political life is very similar to the "k=out-of-n" reliability systems for a political party. In the same time, a coalition is consisted by several parties (systems of similar type), and in order to govern must sustain more than 50 % of the governing entity. We explore Probabilistic ideas from queuing theory and reliability to create a reliability model for a political unit from different points of view: Existence (duration of life), governing survivability, life time distribution, longevity, resistance.
