| Veto players: The veto player theorem is a political theory that explains policy stability by identifying the key players who can block change. A veto player is any individual or group whose agreement is necessary for a policy change to occur. According to the theorem, the more veto players there are in a system, the more difficult it will be to change policies, even if there is broad public support for change._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

George Tsebelis on Veto Players - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 285f Veto player Theorem/Vetoplayer Thesis/Policy/Tsebelis: Tsebelis' thesis: a change in the status quo of a policy is only possible if all veto players agree. Def Veto player/Tsebelis: all constitutionally legitimate actors who can block a change in the law. e.g. executive branch, chambers of parliament, constitutional court etc. The greater the ideological instance of the players among themselves, the greater the number of actors and the greater the number of individuals that make up a "collective veto player", the less chance of change.
