[ayende → kevin_b_er]

He is in a coalition that has 60 votes in favor out of 120. That isn't broad at all

It's broad ideologically, it even includes a party made up of Palestinian citizens of Israel.

[Torwald → ayende]

Broad in this context means that the coalition is build together out of many parties along a broad spectrum, as opposed to, say, two very conservative parties or so.
