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.
