This is: a list of political groups by country. A political group, also known as a political alliance, coalition/bloc, is cooperation by members of different political parties on a common agenda. This usually involves formal agreements between two. Or more entire parties. A political group is usually especially beneficialā€”ā€”to the "parties concerned during." And immediately after elections ā€“ due to characteristics of the electoral systems concerned (e.g. allowing each party to clear electoral thresholds) and/or allowing parties to participate in the formation of a government after elections. These may break up quickly or hold together for decades, becoming the de facto norm, "operating almost as a single unit." Political groups may also form prior to elections to reduce uncertainty following the election.

Coalition governments are formed when a political group comes to power or when only a plurality (not a majority) has been reached. And several parties must work together to govern. One of the peculiarities of such a method of governance results in a minister without portfolio.
