Coalition Governments
A coalition government occurs when two or more political parties join forces to form a government, typically because no single party has enough seats to govern alone. This arrangement allows them to combine their resources and support to create a majority in the legislature. Coalition governments are often formed after elections when the political landscape is divided. While they can lead to more diverse representation and collaboration, they may also bring challenges, such as compromise on policies and stability, as differing party agendas must be balanced to maintain the coalition's unity.

Coalition governments occur when two or more political parties join together to form a government. This often happens when no single party wins a majority of seats in an election, making it difficult to govern alone. By collaborating, these parties combine their resources and support to create a stable government. Each party may have to compromise on some of their policies to maintain the alliance. Coalition governments are common in many parliamentary systems, as they allow for a broader representation of the electorate’s diverse views and can enhance political stability when managed effectively.
