- Social-liberal coalition
Social-liberal coalition ("sozialliberale Koalition") in
Germany refers to a government coalition formed by the Social Democratic Party and the Free Democratic Party.The term stems from
social democracy of the SPD and theliberalism of the FDP. Because of the colors used to symbolize the two parties, such a coalition is also referred to as a "red-yellow" coalition ("rot-gelbe Koalition").Social-liberal coalitions are rare these days, as the SPD usually governs with the
Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and the FDP orients itself towards long-term co-operation with theCDU /CSU . An SPD-FDP alliance is nevertheless often discussed, also as a model for central government. A social-liberal coalition ruled from 1991 to 2006 in the German "Land"Rhineland-Palatinate and would have continued to do so, had the SPD not won anabsolute majority . Social-liberal coalitions have previously been in power in many other federal states of Germany as well.From
1969 to1982 social-liberal coalitions led bychancellors Willy Brandt andHelmut Schmidt governed theFederal Republic of Germany .Social-liberal coalitions at the federal states' level
