What are coalition governments and why are they often unstable?

A coalition government is a cabinet of a parliamentary government in which several parties cooperate. The usual reason given for this arrangement is that no party on its own can achieve a majority in the parliament.To deal with a situation in which no clear majorities appear through general elections, parties either form coalition cabinets, supported by a parliamentary majority, or minority cabinets which may consist of one or more parties. Cabinets based on a coalition with majority in a parliament, ideally, are more stable and long-lived than minority cabinets. While the former are prone to internal struggles, they have less reason to fear votes of non-confidence. Majority government based on a single party are typically even more stable, as long as their majority can be maintained.

Is coalition government sustainable?

Several countries in Europe are proving the answer to this question is yes. In the spring and summer of 2012, a severe debt crisis in Greece led to split elections in which no single party had enough elected officials to seat a ruling majority. The Greek constitution then provides for several parties to form an official coalition and then the coalition seats a ruling majority. However, in this situation, the Greek political parties were unable to form a coalition due to deep differences in their policies and proposals relative to the debt crisis. After a second set of elections, a coalition government in Greece was formed. At the same time, many countries in Europe (including Germany and Ireland) have a similar ruling structure - several political parties can form a coalition to then function as a majority "super party" during the time between elections.

Does Germany vote to decide who governs the country?

Germany has a parliamentary form of government. It has a two-chamber system consisting of the popularly elected parliament and the "Laenderkammer", the representation of the individual states. The Laenderkammer members are not elected but are members or representatives of the individual state's governments. The head of state is the president who is elected by the members of parliament and the head of the government is the chancellor. Elections are held every five years to select the government, but can be held sooner if the government breaks down. Germany has many different political parties ranging from ultra-conservative to far left-wing. Most of the time none of the parties reach a ruling majority during the elections, resulting in coalitions among several parties.
