Translation
The cooperation of parties to form a government in Germany is called ...
- A unity
- B coalition ✓ Correct answer
- C ministry
- D parliamentary group
Explanation
When several parties work together to form a government in Germany, that cooperation is called a coalition. This happens often because proportional representation rarely gives one party an outright majority.
Tips
- Coalition means parties teaming up to govern together.
- A parliamentary group or a ministry is a different thing entirely, do not mix them up.
