political gridlock
political gridlock
The inability for a government to pass laws because different political parties are unable to cooperate and reach agreements. Political gridlock sadly becomes the norm when the president's party does not have control of Congress. An even division between Labour and Conservative MPs has led to political gridlock in Parliament.
