Summary: The paper shows how divided governments in Mexico lack of cooperation systems in formal terms. The presence of a dominant opposition blocks cooperation systems between political forces and weak the party in government, while cooperation between parties is not given under the programmatic agreement with the government, but under conditions of electoral benefi t. Under the approach of coalition formation, the paper presents a series of statistical results from the idea that cooperation is not possible if there is an imbalance between the forces that compose the Congress, to prove this it uses various index of fragmentation in the composition of Congress, the weight of the ruling party and the opposition weight in terms of dominance. Subsequently these data were analyzed with the results of legislative success of political actors in terms of production and approval of bills, to later identify the cooperation of such approvals in terms of the possible formation of legislative coalitions.
