GroKo (Grand Coalition)

GroKo, short for "Große Koalition," is a term used in Germany to describe a coalition government formed between the two major political parties: the Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD). When these parties decide to work together, especially when no single party has a majority, they form a government to ensure stability and govern effectively. This partnership often leads to compromises, balancing conservative and social policies, and aims to represent a broad spectrum of voters for consistent policymaking.
