governing coalition
An alliance of two or more political parties that join together to form a government and secure a parliamentary majority.
Die Verhandlungen zur Bildung einer neuen Regierungskoalition dauerten mehrere Wochen.
The negotiations to form a new governing coalition lasted several weeks.
The word is made up of 'Regierung' (government), the linking -s, and 'Koalition' (coalition). It literally describes a coalition that forms a government.
Die Bildung einer Regierungskoalition ist oft kompliziert.
Forming a governing coalition is often complicated.
In a political context, a 'Regierungskoalition' (governing coalition) is often 'gebildet' (formed) or 'geschmiedet' (forged). When the cooperation ends, it can 'zerbrechen' (break apart/collapse).
Die Regierungskoalition ist an internen Streitigkeiten zerbrochen.
The governing coalition collapsed because of internal disputes.
To name the participating parties, use the preposition 'aus' (of/from). The pattern is: 'eine Regierungskoalition aus [Partei A] und [Partei B]' (a governing coalition of [Party A] and [Party B]).
Es wurde eine Regierungskoalition aus drei Parteien gebildet.
