Cooperation between different political parties within a parliament to further a common goal
This is a list of political groups by country. A political group, also known as a political alliance, coalition or bloc, is cooperation by members of different
political parties on a common
agenda . This usually involves formal agreements between two or more entire parties. A political group is usually especially beneficial to the parties concerned during and immediately after
elections – due to characteristics of the
electoral systems concerned (e.g. allowing each party to clear
electoral thresholds ) and/or allowing parties to participate in the
formation of a government after elections. These may break up quickly or hold together for decades, becoming the
de facto norm, operating almost as a single unit. Political groups may also form prior to elections to reduce uncertainty following the election.
[1]
Coalition governments are formed when a political group comes to power or when only a
plurality (not a
majority ) has been reached, and several parties must work together to govern. One of the peculiarities of such a method of governance results in a
minister without portfolio .
