Agrarian parties have formed coalitions in many of the postcommunist countries.

 Liberalism, Parties of Special Interests
The parties of special interests, which see nothing more in politics than the securing of privileges and prerogatives for their own groups, not only make the parliamentary system impossible; they rupture the unity of the state and of society.
