  Coalition government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coalition cabinets are common in countries where the parliament is proportionally representative for several political parties.
Sometimes a coalition government is also created in times of national difficulties or crises, for example during wartime, to give the government a high degree of political legitimacy and acceptability whilst also diminishing internal political strife.
In Germany, a coalition rarely consists of more than two parties (where CDU and CSU, two non-competing parties that always form a single caucus, are considered a single party), while in Belgium, where there are separate Dutch language and French language parties for each political group, coalitions of six parties are quite common.

 Coalition Building
A coalition is a temporary alliance or partnering of groups in order to achieve a common purpose or to engage in joint activity.[1] Coalition building is the process by which parties (individuals, organizations, or nations) come together to form a coalition.
The "ability to build coalitions is a basic skill for those who wish to attain and maintain power and influence."[3] Through coalitions, weaker parties to a conflict can increase their power.
Coalition building is the "primary mechanism through which disempowered parties can develop their power base and thereby better defend their interests."[4] Coalitions may be built around any issue and at any scale of society, from neighborhood issues to international conflict.
