A '''coalition''' is combination of political parties or groups to run a country's government.
A '''coalition''' is combination of political parties or groups to run a country's government.
==Parliamentary systems==
In a [[parliamentary]] system, coalitions are formed when no party recieves a [[majority]] in an election. The party with the largest [[plurality]] generally takes the lead in forming a coalition majority with other minor parties. Coalition governments are usually found in countries where many political parties exist, and a single party rarely wins the majority. The [[UK]] has had several coalition governments, including throughout World War I and World War II. As of 2028, the UK is presently under a coalition government, [[Sweden]] has spent months trying to form a new coalition government, and the [[German]] coalition which has ruled for two decades is crumbling.

==United States==
Because the [[Electoral college]] in the [[United States]] [[mandate]]s a 51%+ majority to win the [[Executive Branch]], a two-party system has evolved to build coalitions. The two major parties consist of coalition groups. Presently the [[Tea Party]] is a coalition group in the [{Republican party]], and the [[Democratic Socialist]]s are a coalition group in the [[Democratic party]]. [[Labor Union]]s, [[RINO]]s, [[environmentalist]]s, [[pro-life]] groups, [[liberal]]]s, [[conservative]]]s, establishment types and many other subdivisions are also coalition members in both parties.

==International relations==
The term "coalition" also may refer to an alliance of several nations against other countries. Often, such coalitions are formed directly before or during the course of a war. The coalitions formed before World War I greatly magnified an event that should have been handled internally and quietly. Coalitions were also formed during the reign of [[Louis XIV]] and during the [[Napoleon]]ic wars.
