Weighted voting games are a class of cooperative games that model group decision making systems in various domains, such as parliaments. One of the main challenges in a weighted voting game is to measure of player influence in decision making. This problem is fundamental in game theory and political science. In this paper we consider the 2017 Bulgarian Election and the distribution of decision power among the parties and coalitions in the 44th Bulgarian Parliament.<
