A party not having majority is common under [[proportional representation]], but not in nations with [[Majoritarian representation|majoritarian electoral systems]].<ref name=":0" /> There are different forms of coalition governments, minority coalitions and surplus majority coalition governments. A surplus majority coalition government controls more than the absolute majority of seats in [[parliament]] necessary to have a majority in the government, whereas minority coalition governments do not hold the majority of legislative seats.<ref>{{Citation |title=Presidential and Parliamentary Government |date=2020-12-31 |work=Foundations of Comparative Politics |pages=96–109 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781108924948.009 |access-date=2024-03-13 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-108-92494-8}}</ref> A coalition government may also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to give a government the high degree of perceived [[Legitimacy (political)|political legitimacy]] or [[collective identity]], it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife. In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions ([[national unity government]]s, [[grand coalition]]s). If a coalition collapses, the [[prime minister]] and cabinet may be ousted by a [[vote of no confidence]], call [[snap elections]], form a new majority coalition, or continue as a [[minority government]]. == Formation of coalition governments == For a coalition to come about the coalition partners need to compromise on their policy expectations. One coalition or probing partner must lose for the other one to win, to achieve a [[Nash equilibrium]], which is necessary for a coalition to form. If the parties are not willing to compromise, the coalition will not come about.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Follert |first=Florian |date=2018 |title="Jamaika"-Sondierungsgespräche und Spieltheorie: Der Frontalzusammenstoß |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.15358/0340-1650-2018-7-8-48 |journal=Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Studium |volume=47 |issue=7-8 |pages=48–50 |doi=10.15358/0340-1650-2018-7-8-48 |issn=0340-1650}}</ref> Before parties form a coalition government, they formulate a coalition agreement, in which they state what policies they try to adapt in the legislative period. ==Coalition agreement== [[File:Unterschrift des Koalitionsvertrages der 18.

The country was governed by the [[My Step Alliance]] coalition after successfully gaining a majority in the [[National Assembly of Armenia]] following the [[2018 Armenian parliamentary election]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://news.am/eng/news/476232.html |title=Armenia acting PM: We most likely will run in snap parliamentary election with My Step alliance }}</ref> ===Australia=== In federal [[Politics of Australia|Australian politics]], the conservative [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]], [[National Party of Australia|National]], [[Country Liberal Party|Country Liberal]] and [[Liberal National Party of Queensland|Liberal National]] parties are united in a coalition, known simply as [[Coalition (Australia)|the Coalition]]. While nominally two parties, the Coalition has become so stable, at least at the federal level, that in practice the lower house of Parliament has become a [[two-party system]], with the Coalition and the [[Australian Labor Party|Labor Party]] being the major parties. This coalition is also found in the states of [[New South Wales]] and [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]. In [[South Australia]] and [[Western Australia]] the Liberal and National parties compete separately, while in the [[Northern Territory]] and [[Queensland]] the two parties have merged, forming the Country Liberal Party, in 1978, and the Liberal National Party, in 2008, respectively. Coalition governments involving the [[Australian Labor Party|Labor Party]] and the [[Australian Greens]] have occurred at [[Labor–Greens coalition (disambiguation)|state and territory level]], for example following the [[2010 Tasmanian state election]] and the [[2016 Australian Capital Territory election|2016]] and [[2020 Australian Capital Territory election|2020]] [[ACT Government|Australian Capital Territory]] elections. ===Belgium=== In [[Politics of Belgium|Belgium]], a nation internally divided along linguistic lines (primarily between [[Dutch language|Dutch]]-speaking [[Flanders]] in the north and French-speaking [[Wallonia]] in the south, with [[Brussels]] also being by and large Francophone), each main political disposition ([[Social democracy]], [[liberalism]], [[right-wing populism]], etc.) is, with the exception of the far-left [[Workers' Party of Belgium]], split between Francophone and Dutch-speaking parties (e.g. the Dutch-speaking [[Vooruit (political party)|Vooruit]] and French-speaking [[Socialist Party (Belgium)|Socialist Party]] being the two social-democratic parties). In the [[2019 Belgian federal election|2019 federal election]], no party got more than 17% of the vote. Thus, forming a coalition government is an expected and necessary part of Belgian politics. In Belgium, coalition governments containing ministers from six or more parties are not uncommon; consequently, [[government formation]] can take an exceptionally long time. Between [[2007–2011 Belgian political crisis|2007 and 2011]], Belgium operated under a [[caretaker government]] as no coalition could be formed. ===Canada=== In [[Politics of Canada|Canada]], the [[Great Coalition]] was formed in 1864 by the [[Clear Grits]], {{lang|fr|[[Parti bleu]]|italic=no}}, and [[Liberal-Conservative Party]]. During the [[First World War]], Prime Minister [[Robert Borden]] attempted to form a coalition with the opposition Liberals to broaden support for controversial conscription legislation. The Liberal Party refused the offer but some of their members did [[crossing the floor|cross the floor]] and join the government. Although sometimes referred to as a coalition government, according to the definition above, it was not. It was disbanded after the end of the war.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/precedents-from-around-the-world-1.876563|title=Coalition Government: Precedents from around the world|publisher=CBC News|date=2010-05-13|access-date=2009-05-14}}</ref> During the [[2008–09 Canadian parliamentary dispute]], two of Canada's opposition parties signed an agreement to form what would become the country's second federal coalition government since [[Canadian confederation|Confederation]] if the minority Conservative government was defeated on a vote of non-confidence,<ref>{{cite news|title=Coalition Set To Topple Canada PM|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB122818032317670973?mod=googlenews_wsj|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|date=2008-12-02|access-date=2008-12-02|author=Menon, Nirmala}}</ref> unseating [[Stephen Harper]] as Prime Minister. The agreement outlined a formal coalition consisting of two opposition parties, the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal Party]] and the [[New Democratic Party (Canada)|New Democratic Party]]. The [[Bloc Québécois]] agreed to support the proposed coalition on confidence matters for 18 months. In the end, parliament was [[Prorogation in Canada|prorogued]] by the [[Governor General of Canada|Governor General]], and the coalition dispersed before parliament was reconvened. According to historian [[Christopher Moore (Canadian historian)|Christopher Moore]], coalition governments in Canada became much less possible in 1919, when the leaders of parties were no longer chosen by elected MPs but instead began to be chosen by party members. Such a manner of leadership election had never been tried in any parliamentary system before. According to Moore, as long as that kind of leadership selection process remains in place and concentrates power in the hands of the leader, as opposed to backbenchers, then coalition governments will be very difficult to form. Moore shows that the diffusion of power within a party tends to also lead to a diffusion of power in the parliament in which that party operates, thereby making coalitions more likely.<ref name=Moore-1>{{cite journal|last1=Moore|first1=Christopher|year=2011|title=Come together|journal=[[Canada's History]]|issue=June–July 2011|pages=53–54}}</ref> ====Provincial==== Several coalition governments have been formed within provincial politics. As a result of the [[1919 Ontario general election|1919 Ontario election]], the [[United Farmers of Ontario]] and the [[Labour Party of Canada|Labour Party]], together with three independent MLAs, formed a coalition that governed [[Ontario]] until 1923. In [[British Columbia]], the governing Liberals formed a coalition with the opposition Conservatives in order to prevent the surging, left-wing [[Cooperative Commonwealth Federation]] from taking power in the [[1941 British Columbia general election]]. Liberal premier [[Duff Pattullo]] refused to form a coalition with the third-place Conservatives, so his party removed him. The Liberal–Conservative coalition introduced a winner-take-all preferential voting system (the "[[Alternative Vote]]") in the hopes that their supporters would rank the other party as their second preference; however, this strategy backfired in the subsequent [[1952 British Columbia general election]] where, to the surprise of many, the right-wing populist [[BC Social Credit Party]] won a minority. They were able to win a majority in the subsequent election as Liberal and Conservative supporters shifted their anti-CCF vote to Social Credit. Manitoba has had more formal coalition governments than any other province. Following gains by the United Farmer's/Progressive movement elsewhere in the country, the [[United Farmers of Manitoba]] unexpectedly won the 1921 election. Like their counterparts in Ontario, they had not expected to win and did not have a leader. They asked [[John Bracken]], a professor in animal husbandry, to become leader and premier. Bracken changed the party's name to the [[Progressive Party of Manitoba]]. During the Great Depression, Bracken survived at a time when other premiers were being defeated by forming a coalition government with the Manitoba Liberals (eventually, the two parties would merge into the [[Manitoba Liberal Party#Liberal-Progressive Party: Merger with the Progressives|Liberal-Progressive Party of Manitoba]], and decades later, the party would change its name to the [[Manitoba Liberal Party]]). In 1940, Bracken formed a wartime coalition government with almost every party in the Manitoba Legislature (the Conservatives, CCF, and Social Credit; however, the CCF broke with the coalition after a few years over policy differences). The only party not included was the small, communist [[Labor-Progressive Party]], which had a handful of seats. In Saskatchewan, NDP premier [[Roy Romanow]] formed a formal coalition with the [[Saskatchewan Liberal Party|Saskatchewan Liberals]] in 1999 after being reduced to a minority. After two years, the newly elected Liberal leader David Karwacki ordered the coalition be disbanded, the Liberal caucus disagreed with him and left the Liberals to run as New Democrats in the upcoming election. The [[Saskatchewan NDP]] was re-elected with a majority under its new leader [[Lorne Calvert]], while the Saskatchewan Liberals lost their remaining seats and have not been competitive in the province since. ===Denmark=== From the creation of the [[Folketing]] in 1849 through the introduction of [[proportional representation]] in 1918, there were only single-party governments in Denmark. [[Thorvald Stauning]] formed his [[Stauning II Cabinet|second government]] and Denmark's first coalition government in 1929. Since then, the norm has been coalition governments, though there have been periods where single-party governments were frequent, such as the decade after the end of [[World War II]], during the 1970s, and in the late 2010s. Every government from 1982 until the [[2015 Danish general election|2015 elections]] were coalitions. While [[Mette Frederiksen]]'s [[Frederiksen I Cabinet|first government]] only consisted of her own [[Social Democrats (Denmark)|Social Democrats]], her [[Frederiksen II Cabinet|second government]] is a coalition of the Social Democrats, [[Venstre (Denmark)|Venstre]], and the [[Moderates (Denmark)|Moderates]]. When the Social Democrats under Stauning won 46% of the votes in the [[1935 Danish Folketing election|1935 election]], this was the closest any party has gotten to winning an outright majority in parliament since 1918. One party has thus never held a majority alone, and even one-party governments have needed to have [[Confidence and supply|confidence agreements]] with at least one other party to govern. For example, though Frederiksen's first government only consisted of the Social Democrats, it also relied on the support of the [[Danish Social Liberal Party|Social Liberal Party]], the [[Socialist People's Party (Denmark)|Socialist People's Party]], and the [[Red–Green Alliance (Denmark)|Red–Green Alliance]]. ===Finland=== In [[Politics of Finland|Finland]], no party has had an absolute majority in the parliament since independence, and multi-party coalitions have been the norm. Finland experienced its most stable government ([[Paavo Lipponen's first cabinet|Lipponen I]] and [[Paavo Lipponen's second cabinet|II]]) since [[Finland's declaration of independence|independence]] with a five-party governing coalition, a so-called "rainbow government". The Lipponen cabinets set the stability record and were unusual in the respect that both the centre-left (SDP) and radical left-wing (Left Alliance) parties sat in the government with the major centre-right party (National Coalition). The [[Jyrki Katainen's cabinet|Katainen cabinet]] was also a rainbow coalition of a total of five parties. ===Germany=== {{See also|German governing coalition}} In Germany, coalition governments are the norm, as it is rare for any single party to win a majority in parliament. The German political system makes extensive use of the [[constructive vote of no confidence]], which requires governments to control an absolute majority of seats. Every government since the foundation of the Federal Republic in 1949 has involved at least two political parties. Typically, governments involve one of the two major parties forming a coalition with a smaller party. For example, from 1982 to 1998, the country was governed by a coalition of the [[CDU/CSU]] with the minor [[Free Democratic Party (Germany)|Free Democratic Party]] (FDP); from 1998 to 2005, a coalition of the [[Social Democratic Party of Germany]] (SPD) and the minor [[Alliance 90/The Greens|Greens]] held power.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/a-history-of-germanys-coalition-governments/g-41818483|title=A history of Germany's coalition governments|date=15 December 2017|website=[[Deutsche Welle]]}}</ref> The CDU/CSU comprises an alliance of the [[Christian Democratic Union of Germany]] and [[Christian Social Union in Bavaria]], described as "sister parties" which form a joint parliamentary group, and for this purpose are always considered a single party.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deutschland.de/en/the-cducsu-parties-in-the-german-bundestag|title=The sister parties|date=17 May 2021|website=Deutschland.de}}</ref> Coalition arrangements are often given names based on the colours of the parties involved, such as "red-green" for the SPD and Greens. Coalitions of three parties are often named after countries whose flags contain those colours, such as the black-yellow-green [[Jamaica coalition (politics)|Jamaica coalition]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/german-election-a-guide-to-possible-coalitions-for-the-new-government/a-38756817|title=German election: A guide to possible coalitions for the new government|date=17 May 2021|website=[[Deutsche Welle]]}}</ref> [[Grand coalition (Germany)|Grand coalitions]] of the two major parties also occur, but these are relatively rare, as they typically prefer to associate with smaller ones. However, if the major parties are unable to assemble a majority, a grand coalition may be the only practical option. This was the case following the [[2005 German federal election|2005 federal election]], in which the incumbent SPD–Green government was defeated but the opposition CDU/CSU–FDP coalition also fell short of a majority. A grand coalition government was subsequently formed between the CDU/CSU and the SPD. Partnerships like these typically involve carefully structured cabinets: [[Angela Merkel]] of the CDU/CSU became [[Chancellor of Germany|Chancellor]] while the SPD was granted the majority of cabinet posts. Coalition formation has become increasingly complex as voters increasingly migrate away from the major parties during the 2000s and 2010s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2021/10/28/what-explains-the-fragmentation-of-the-german-party-system/|title=What explains the destabilisation of the German party system?|date=28 October 2021|website=[[London School of Economics]]}}</ref> While coalitions of more than two parties were extremely rare in preceding decades, they have become common on the state level. These often include the liberal FDP and the Greens alongside one of the major parties, or [[Red–red–green coalition|"red–red–green"]] coalitions of the SPD, Greens, and [[The Left (Germany)|The Left]]. In the [[New states of Germany|eastern states]], dwindling support for moderate parties has seen the rise of new forms of grand coalitions such as the [[Black-red-green coalition|Kenya coalition]]. The rise of populist parties also increases the time that it takes for a successful coalition to form.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Bäck |first1=Hanna |last2=Debus |first2=Marc |last3=Imre |first3=Michael |date=2022-11-25 |title=Populist radical parties, pariahs, and coalition bargaining delays |journal=Party Politics |volume=30 |language=en |pages=96–107 |doi=10.1177/13540688221136109 |issn=1354-0688|doi-access=free }}</ref> By 2016, the Greens were participating eleven governing coalitions on the state level in seven different constellations.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://eu.boell.org/sites/default/files/greens_in_government.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181019170632/https://eu.boell.org/sites/default/files/greens_in_government.pdf |archive-date=2018-10-19 |url-status=live|title=German Greens in Coalition Governments.

The first Prime Minister, [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], his successor [[Lal Bahadur Shastri]], and the third Prime Minister, [[Indira Gandhi]], were all members of the Congress party. However, [[Raj Narain]], who had unsuccessfully contested an election against Indira from the constituency of [[Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency|Rae Bareli]] in 1971, lodged a case alleging electoral malpractice. In June 1975, Indira was found guilty and barred by the High Court from holding public office for six years. In response, a state of emergency was declared under the pretext of national security. The [[1977 Indian general election|next election]] resulted in the formation of [[Politics of India|India]]'s first ever national coalition government under the prime ministership of [[Morarji Desai]], which was also the first non-Congress national government. It existed from 24 March 1977 to 15 July 1979, headed by the [[Janata Party]],<ref name="UK">{{cite news|title=OBITUARY: Morarji Desai|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-morarji-desai-1615165.html|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|author=Kuldip Singh|date=1995-04-11|access-date=2009-06-27}}</ref> an amalgam of political parties opposed to the emergency imposed between 1975 and 1977. As the popularity of the Janata Party dwindled, Desai had to resign, and [[Chaudhary Charan Singh]], a rival of his, became the fifth Prime Minister. However, due to lack of support, this coalition government did not complete its five-year term. Congress returned to power in 1980 under Indira Gandhi, and later under [[Rajiv Gandhi]] as the sixth Prime Minister. However, the [[1989 Indian general election|general election of 1989]] once again brought a coalition government under [[National Front (India)|National Front]], which lasted until 1991, with two Prime Ministers, the second one being supported by Congress. The 1991 election resulted in a Congress-led stable [[minority government]] for five years. The eleventh [[Lok Sabha|parliament]] produced three Prime Ministers in two years and forced the country back to the polls in 1998. The first successful coalition government in India which completed a whole five-year term was the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP)-led [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]] with [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]] as Prime Minister from 1999 to 2004. Then another coalition, the Congress-led [[United Progressive Alliance]], consisting of 13 separate parties, ruled India for two terms from 2004 to 2014 with [[Manmohan Singh]] as PM. However, in the [[2014 Indian general election|16th general election]] in May 2014, the BJP secured a majority on its own (becoming the first party to do so since the 1984 election), and the National Democratic Alliance came into power, with [[Narendra Modi]] as Prime Minister. In 2019, Narendra Modi was re-elected as Prime Minister as the National Democratic Alliance again secured a majority in the [[2019 Indian general election|17th general election]]. India returned to an NDA led coalition government in 2024 as the BJP failed to achieve an outright majority. ===Indonesia=== As a result of the [[Fall of Suharto|toppling of Suharto]], political freedom is significantly increased. Compared to only three parties allowed to exist in the [[New Order (Indonesia)|New Order]] era, a total of 48 political parties participated in the [[1999 Indonesian legislative election|1999 election]] and always a total of more than 10 parties in next elections. There are no majority winner of those elections and coalition governments are inevitable. The current government is a coalition of seven parties led by the major [[centre-left]] [[Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle|PDIP]] to let governing [[big tent]] [[Onward Indonesia Coalition]] ===Ireland=== In [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], coalition governments are common; not since 1977 has a single party formed a majority government. Coalition governments to date have been led by either [[Fianna Fáil]] or [[Fine Gael]]. They have been joined in government by one or more smaller parties or [[Independent politician (Ireland)|independent]] members of parliament (TDs). Ireland's [[5th Government of Ireland|first coalition government]] was formed after the [[1948 Irish general election|1948 general election]], with five parties and independents represented at cabinet. Before 1989, Fianna Fáil had opposed participation in coalition governments, preferring single-party minority government instead. It formed a coalition government with the [[Progressive Democrats]] in that year. The [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Labour Party]] has been in government on eight occasions. On all but one of those occasions, it was as a junior coalition party to [[Fine Gael]]. The exception was a government with Fianna Fáil from 1993 to 1994. The [[29th Government of Ireland]] (2011–16), was a [[grand coalition]] of the two largest parties, as Fianna Fáil had fallen to third place in the Dáil. The [[32nd Government of Ireland|current government]] is a [[Fianna Fáil]], [[Fine Gael]] and the [[Green Party of Ireland|Green Party]]. It is the first time Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have served in government together, having derived from opposing sides in the [[Irish Civil War]] (1922–23). ===Israel=== {{see also|Rotation government}} A similar situation exists in [[Politics of Israel|Israel]], which typically has at least 10 parties holding representation in the [[Knesset]]. The only faction to ever gain the majority of Knesset seats was [[Alignment (political party)|Alignment]], an alliance of the [[Israeli Labor Party|Labor Party]] and [[Mapam]] that held an absolute majority for a brief period from 1968 to 1969. Historically, control of the Israeli government has alternated between periods of rule by the right-wing [[Likud]] in coalition with several right-wing and religious parties and periods of rule by the center-left Labor in coalition with several left-wing parties. [[Ariel Sharon]]'s formation of the centrist [[Kadima]] party in 2006 drew support from former Labor and Likud members, and Kadima ruled in coalition with several other parties. Israel also formed a [[national unity government]] from [[1984 Israeli legislative election|1984–1988]]. The premiership and foreign ministry portfolio were held by the head of each party for two years, and they switched roles in 1986. ===Japan=== In [[Politics of Japan|Japan]], controlling a majority in the [[House of Representatives (Japan)|House of Representatives]] is enough to decide the [[Election of the Prime Minister of Japan|election of the prime minister]] (=recorded, two-round votes in both houses of the [[National Diet]], yet the vote of the House of Representatives decision eventually overrides a dissenting [[House of Councillors (Japan)|House of Councillors]] vote automatically after the mandatory conference committee procedure fails which, by precedent, it does without real attempt to reconcile the different votes). Therefore, a party that controls the lower house can form a government on its own. It can also pass a budget on its own. But passing any law (including important budget-related laws) requires either majorities in both houses of the legislature or, with the drawback of longer legislative proceedings, a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives. In recent decades, single-party full legislative control is rare, and coalition governments are the norm: Most [[Cabinet of Japan|governments of Japan]] since the 1990s and, as of 2020, all since 1999 have been coalition governments, some of them still fell short of a legislative majority. The [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|Liberal Democratic Party]] (LDP) held a legislative majority of its own in the National Diet until 1989 (when it initially continued to govern alone), and between the 2016 and 2019 elections (when it remained in its previous ruling coalition). The [[Democratic Party of Japan]] (through accessions in the House of Councillors) briefly controlled a single-party legislative majority for a few weeks before it lost the 2010 election (it, too, continued to govern as part of its previous ruling coalition). From the constitutional establishment of parliamentary cabinets and the introduction of the new, now directly elected upper house of parliament in 1947 until the formation of the LDP and the reunification of the [[Japanese Socialist Party]] in 1955, no single party formally controlled a legislative majority on its own. Only few formal coalition governments ([[Katayama Cabinet|46th]], [[Ashida Cabinet|47th]], initially [[Third Yoshida Cabinet|49th]] cabinet) interchanged with technical minority governments and cabinets without technical control of the House of Councillors (later called "twisted Diets", ''nejire kokkai'', when they were not only technically, but actually divided). But during most of that period, the centrist [[Ryokufūkai (1947–60)|Ryokufūkai]] was the strongest overall or decisive cross-bench group in the House of Councillors, and it was willing to cooperate with both centre-left and centre-right governments even when it was not formally part of the cabinet; and in the House of Representatives, minority governments of Liberals or Democrats (or their precursors; loose, indirect successors to the two major pre-war parties) could usually count on support from some members of the other major conservative party or from smaller conservative parties and independents. Finally in 1955, when Hatoyama Ichirō's Democratic Party minority government called early House of Representatives elections and, while gaining seats substantially, remained in the minority, the Liberal Party refused to cooperate until negotiations on a long-debated "conservative merger" of the two parties were agreed upon, and eventually successful. After it was founded in 1955, the Liberal Democratic Party dominated Japan's governments for a long period: The new party governed alone without interruption until 1983, again from 1986 to 1993 and most recently between 1996 and 1999. The first time the LDP entered a coalition government followed its third loss of its [[House of Representatives of Japan|House of Representatives]] majority in the [[1983 Japanese general election|1983 House of Representatives general election]]. The LDP-[[New Liberal Club]] [[Second Nakasone Cabinet|coalition government]] lasted until 1986 when the LDP won landslide victories in simultaneous double elections to both houses of parliament. There have been coalition cabinets where the post of prime minister was given to a junior coalition partner: the [[Ashida Cabinet|JSP-DP-Cooperativist coalition government]] in 1948 of prime minister [[Ashida Hitoshi]] (DP) who took over after his JSP predecessor [[Tetsu Katayama]] had been toppled by the left wing of his own party, the [[Hosokawa Cabinet|JSP-Renewal-Kōmei-DSP-JNP-Sakigake-SDF-DRP coalition]] in 1993 with [[Morihiro Hosokawa]] (JNP) as compromise PM for the [[Ichirō Ozawa]]-negotiated rainbow coalition that removed the LDP from power for the first time to break up in less than a year, and the [[Murayama Cabinet|LDP-JSP-Sakigake government]] that was formed in 1994 when the LDP had agreed, if under internal turmoil and with some defections, to bury the main post-war partisan rivalry and support the election of JSP prime minister [[Tomiichi Murayama]] in exchange for the return to government. === Malaysia === Ever since [[Malaysia]] gained [[Independence Day (Malaysia)|independence in 1957]], none of its [[Government of Malaysia|federal governments]] have ever been controlled by a single political party. Due to the social nature of the country, the [[First Rahman cabinet|first federal government]] was formed by a three-party [[Alliance Party (Malaysia)|Alliance]] coalition, composed of the [[United Malays National Organisation|United Malays National Organisations (UMNO)]], the [[Malaysian Chinese Association|Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA)]], and the [[Malaysian Indian Congress|Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC)]]. It was later expanded and rebranded as [[Barisan Nasional|Barisan Nasional (BN)]], which includes parties representing the Malaysian states of [[Sabah]] and [[Sarawak]]. The [[2018 Malaysian general election]] saw the first non-BN coalition federal government in the country's electoral history, formed through an alliance between the [[Pakatan Harapan|Pakatan Harapan (PH)]] coalition and the [[Sabah Heritage Party|Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN)]]. The federal government formed after the [[2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis]] was the first to be established through coordination between multiple political coalitions. This occurred when the newly formed [[Perikatan Nasional|Perikatan Nasional (PN)]] coalition partnered with BN and [[Gabungan Parti Sarawak|Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS)]]. In 2022 after its registration, Sabah-based [[Gabungan Rakyat Sabah|Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS)]] formally joined the government (though it had been a part of an informal coalition since 2020). The [[Anwar Ibrahim cabinet|current government]] led by Prime Minister [[Anwar Ibrahim]] is composed of four political coalitions and 19 parties. === New Zealand === {{Main|Electoral system of New Zealand#MMP in New Zealand}} [[MMP representation|MMP]] was introduced in [[New Zealand]] in [[1996 New Zealand general election|the 1996 election]]. In order to get into power, parties need to get a total of 50% of the approximately (there can be more if an [[Overhang seat]] exists) 120 seats in parliament – 61. Since it is rare for a party to win a full majority, they must form coalitions with other parties. For example, from 1996 to 1998, the country was governed by a coalition of the [[New Zealand National Party|National]] with the minor [[New Zealand First|NZ First]]; from 1999 to 2002, a coalition of the [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]] and the minor [[Alliance (New Zealand political party)|Alliance]] and with [[confidence and supply]] from the [[Green Party (New Zealand)|Green Party]] held power. Between 2017 and 2020, [[Labour Party (New Zealand)|Labour]], [[New Zealand First]] formed a [[Sixth Labour Government of New Zealand|Coalition Government]] with confidence and supply from the [[Green Party (New Zealand)|Green Party]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/10/full-video-nz-first-leader-winston-peters-announces-next-government.html |title=Full video: NZ First leader Winston Peters announces next Government |author=Chapman, Grant |date=19 October 2017 |work=[[Newshub]] |access-date=19 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/10/an-historic-moment-for-the-green-party-james-shaw.html |title=An 'historic moment' for the Green Party – James Shaw |author=Hurley, Emma |date=19 October 2017 |work=[[Newshub]] |access-date=19 October 2017}}</ref> During the [[2023 New Zealand general election|2023 general election]], [[New Zealand National Party|National]] won 49 seats, [[ACT New Zealand|ACT]] won eleven and [[New Zealand First]] won eight formed a [[Sixth National Government of New Zealand|coalition government]]. === Spain === Since 2015, there are many more coalition governments than previously in municipalities, autonomous regions and, since 2020 (coming from the [[November 2019 Spanish general election]]), in the Spanish Government. There are two ways of conforming them: all of them based on a program and its institutional architecture, one consists on distributing the different areas of government between the parties conforming the coalition and the other one is, like in the Valencian Community,<ref>{{cite web |title=Generalitat Valenciana's political structure |website=gvaoberta.gva.es |url=http://www.gvaoberta.gva.es/es/estructura-organica |access-date=5 April 2020}}</ref> where the ministries are structured with members of all the political parties being represented, so that conflicts that may occur are regarding competences and not fights between parties. Coalition governments in Spain had already existed during the 2nd Republic, and have been common in some specific Autonomous Communities since the 1980s. Nonetheless, the prevalence of two big parties overall has been eroded and the need for coalitions appears to be the new normal since around 2015. === Turkey === {{see also|Coalition governments in Turkey}} Turkey's [[26th government of Turkey|first coalition government]] was formed after the [[1961 Turkish general election|1961 general election]], with two political parties and independents represented at cabinet. It was also Turkey's first [[grand coalition]] as the two largest political parties of opposing political ideologies ([[Republican People's Party]] and [[Justice Party (Turkey)|Justice Party]]) united. Between 1960 and 2002, 17 coalition governments were formed in Turkey. The media and the general public view coalition governments as unfavorable and unstable due to their lack of effectiveness and short lifespan.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}} Following Turkey's transition to a [[presidential system]] in 2017, political parties focussed more on forming [[electoral alliance]]s. Due to [[separation of powers]], the government doesn't have to be formed by parliamentarians and therefore not obliged to result in a coalition government. However, the parliament can dissolve the cabinet if the [[parliamentary opposition]] is in majority. ===United Kingdom=== {{see also|National Government (United Kingdom)|United Kingdom coalition government}} In the [[Politics of the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], coalition governments (sometimes known as "national governments") usually have only been formed at times of national crisis. The most prominent was the [[National Government (United Kingdom)|National Government]] of 1931 to 1940. There were multi-party coalitions during both [[world war]]s. Apart from this, when no party has had a majority, minority governments normally have been formed with one or more opposition parties agreeing to vote in favour of the legislation which governments need to function: for instance the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] government of [[James Callaghan]] formed [[Lib–Lab pact|a pact]] with the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberals]] from March 1977 until July 1978, following a series of by-election defeats had eroded Labour's majority of three seats which had been gained at the [[October 1974 United Kingdom general election|October 1974 election]]. However, in the run-up to the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]], Labour opposition leader [[Tony Blair]] was in talks with [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrat]] leader [[Paddy Ashdown]] about forming a coalition government if Labour failed to win a majority at the election; but there proved to be no need for a coalition as Labour won the election by a [[landslide victory|landslide]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Making Minority Government Work:Hung Parliaments and the Challenges for Westminster and Whitehall|url=http://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/pdfs/making-minority-gov-work.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414205629/http://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/pdfs/making-minority-gov-work.pdf |archive-date=2010-04-14 |url-status=live|date=2008-12-02|access-date=2009-12-07}}</ref> The [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010 general election]] resulted in a [[hung parliament]] (Britain's first for [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|36 years]]), and the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]], led by [[David Cameron]], which had won the largest number of seats, formed a [[Cameron–Clegg coalition|coalition]] with the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] in order to gain a parliamentary majority, ending 13 years of Labour government. This was the first time that the Conservatives and Lib Dems had made a power-sharing deal at Westminster.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.newstatesman.com/2010/05/lib-dems-government-deal|title=Tories and Lib Dems enter full coalition government|magazine=The New Statesman}}</ref> It was also the first full coalition in Britain since 1945, having been formed 70 years virtually to the day after the establishment of [[Winston Churchill]]'s wartime coalition,<ref>Churchill became Prime Minister on 10 May 1940, [[David Cameron]] on 11 May 2010.

The first one was after the election of the blanco [[Luis Alberto Lacalle]] and lasted until 1992 due to policy disagreements, the longest lasting coalition was the Colorado-led coalition under the second government of [[Julio María Sanguinetti]], in which the national leader [[Alberto Volonté]] was frequently described as a "Prime Minister", the next coalition (under president [[Jorge Batlle]]) was also Colorado-led, but it lasted only until after the [[2002 Uruguay banking crisis]], when the blancos abandoned the government.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elpais.com.uy/informacion/politica/lacalle-herrera-batlle-gobernar-coalicion.html|title=De Lacalle Herrera a Batlle: cómo gobernar en coalición|last=ElPais|website=Diario EL PAIS Uruguay|date=24 November 2019 |language=es|access-date=2020-03-08}}</ref> Following the [[2019 Uruguayan general election]], the blanco [[Luis Lacalle Pou]] formed the [[Coalición Multicolor|coalición multicolor]], composed of his own National Party, the liberal Colorado Party, the eclectic [[Open Cabildo (Uruguay)|Open Cabildo]] and the center left [[Independent Party (Uruguay)|Independent Party]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/es/los-desaf%C3%ADos-de-lacalle-el-nuevo-presidente-del-pa%C3%ADs-m%C3%A1s-estable-de-latinoam%C3%A9rica/a-51477669|title=Los desafíos de Lacalle, el nuevo presidente del país más estable de Latinoamérica|date=29 November 2019|website=DW.COM|language=es-ES|access-date=2020-03-08}}</ref> ==Support and criticism== {{More citations needed section|date=May 2014}} Advocates of proportional representation suggest that a coalition government leads to more consensus-based politics, as a government comprising differing parties (often based on different ideologies) need to compromise about governmental policy. Another stated advantage is that a coalition government better reflects the popular opinion of the electorate within a country; this means, for instance, that the political system contains just one majority-based mechanism. Contrast this with district voting in which the majority mechanism occurs twice: first, the majority of voters pick the representative and, second, the body of representatives make a subsequent majority decision. The doubled majority decision undermines voter support for that decision. The benefit of proportional representation is that it contains that majority mechanism just once. Additionally, coalition partnership may play an important role in moderating the level of affective polarization over parties, that is, the animosity and hostility against the opponent party identifiers/supporters.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hahm |first1=Hyeonho |last2=Hilpert |first2=David |last3=König |first3=Thomas |date=2023-03-30 |title=Divided We Unite: The Nature of Partyism and the Role of Coalition Partnership in Europe |journal=American Political Science Review |volume=118 |language=en |pages=69–87 |doi=10.1017/S0003055423000266 |s2cid=260582136 |issn=0003-0554|doi-access=free }}</ref> Those who disapprove of coalition governments believe that such governments have a tendency to be fractious and prone to disharmony, as their component parties hold differing beliefs and thus may not always agree on policy.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Moury |first1=Catherine |last2=Timmermans |first2=Arco |title=Inter-party conflict management in coalition governments: Analyzing the role of coalition agreements in Belgium, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands |journal=Politics and Governance |date=25 July 2013 |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=117–131 |doi=10.17645/pag.v1i2.94 |url=https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/94 |access-date=4 September 2018|doi-access=free }}</ref> Sometimes the results of an election mean that the coalitions which are mathematically most probable are ideologically infeasible, for example in [[Flanders]] or [[Northern Ireland]]. A second difficulty might be the ability of minor parties to play "[[kingmaker]]" and, particularly in close elections, gain far more power in exchange for their support than the size of their vote would otherwise justify. Germany is the largest nation ever to have had proportional representation during the interbellum. After WW II, the German system, district based but then proportionally adjusted afterward, contains a threshold that keeps the number of parties limited. The threshold is set at five percent, resulting in empowered parties with at least a minimum amount of political gravity. Coalition governments have also been criticized{{By whom|date=May 2014}} for sustaining a [[Consensus decision-making|consensus]] on issues when disagreement and the consequent discussion would be more fruitful. To forge a consensus, the leaders of ruling coalition parties can agree to silence their disagreements on an issue to unify the coalition against the opposition. The coalition partners, if they control the parliamentary majority, can collude to make the parliamentary discussion on the issue irrelevant by consistently disregarding the arguments of the opposition and voting against the opposition's proposals — even if there is disagreement within the ruling parties about the issue. However, in winner-take-all this seems always to be the case. Powerful parties can also act in an [[Oligocracy|oligocratic]] way to form an alliance to stifle the growth of emerging parties. Of course, such an event is rare in coalition governments when compared to [[two-party system]]s, which typically exist because of stifling of the growth of emerging parties, often through discriminatory [[nomination rules]] regulations and [[plurality voting system]]s, and so on. A single, more powerful party can shape the policies of the coalition disproportionately. Smaller or less powerful parties can be intimidated to not openly disagree. In order to maintain the coalition, they would have to vote against their own party's platform in the parliament. If they do not, the party has to leave the government and loses executive power. However, this is contradicted by the "kingmaker" factor mentioned above. Finally, a strength that can also be seen as a weakness is that proportional representation puts the emphasis on collaboration. All parties involved are looking at the other parties in the best light possible, since they may be (future) coalition partners. The pendulum may therefore show less of a swing between political extremes. Still, facing external issues may then also be approached from a collaborative perspective, even when the outside force is not benevolent. ==Legislative coalitions and agreements == {{main|Parliamentary group}} A legislative coalition or voting coalition is when political parties in a legislature align on voting to push forward specific policies or legislation, but do not engage in power-sharing of the executive branch like in coalition governments.<ref name=willdowns>{{cite book|title=Coalition Government, Subnational Style: Multiparty Politics in Europe's Regional Parliaments|last=Downs|first=William M.|year=1998|isbn=0814207472|page=19|publisher=Ohio State University Press}}</ref> In a parliamentary system, political parties may form a [[confidence and supply]] arrangement, pledging to support the governing party on legislative bills and motions that carry a [[vote of confidence]]. Unlike a coalition government, which is a more formalised partnership characterised by the sharing of the executive branch, a confidence and supply arrangement does not entail executive "power-sharing". Instead, it involves the governing party supporting specific proposals and priorities of the other parties in the arrangement, in return for their continued support on motions of confidence.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/politics/q-a-the-ndp-and-liberals-have-a-confidence-and-supply-agreement-so-what-is/article_bd046d0b-3c2f-5cec-a777-ac2b81f6a047.html|title=Q&A: The NDP and Liberals have a confidence and supply agreement.
