In this paper a mixture survival model is used to analyse legislative success in a legislature with very weak gatekeeping prerogatives, the House of Representatives of Uruguay. Evidence is provided that the loss of majority support depletes plenary time more rapidly and yields an ideological drift that benefits the median voter of the House. The results inform recent debates on the endogenous formation of a plenary schedule in open sky legislatures.

In particular, the article explains how constitutes a central authority in the House where the executive holds a dominant inluence, and how that authority usurps and controls the agenda power. I also present new evidence about the legislator’s cooperation with the party aims, with the hope of getting beneits to extent their political careers. he data show that in the brief periods where the party or coalition does not work cartelized (rupture of the ruling coalition), the government’s legislative agenda is severely afected.

Los estudios de casos son presentados para ocho paises de la region, y un capitulo final presenta las conclusiones y sugerencias para nuevas investigaciones.

This is reflected in international rankings which identify Uruguay as one of the region’s most solid democracies.1 This privileged situation is, however, not a recent or casual phenomenon but, rather, the product of an institutional and cultural process that began in the early twentieth century and has continued through to the present day with only two interruptions of democracy.2
